Recently my manual transmssion in my 1998 Maxima went. Non Locking Diff(Dont know if that matters) When i say went i mean a seal, a cracked case, something went wrong. I cant shift into some gears and others are sometimish. I cant even drive the car.

My problem:
Im removing the transmission but the gearbox has grabbed the axles and is refusing to let them go. What methods can I take to get the driver side axle out? so that i can drop the tranny and inspect it further.

Thanks In Advance Guys

 

The dirvers side is usually the easy one to get out.
Did the passenger side come out?

If you get one out, use a hammer and rod and go at it from the opposite side.
If you can't get them out, take them apart and leave the inner CV joint on the tranny.

 

What have you done to try and get the axle out? Just pulling on it? Pry bar?

 

Had a similar problem awhile back doing an axle change on my old 3000gt.... it was a stupid human error.... left the shifter in gear make sure its in neutral

 

i have pulled, used a pry bar. when i try to turn the axle left or right i feel oppression meanin let say the axle was 12oclock i get half the distance to 1 oclock and half the distance to 11 oclock.

 

sounds as though the tranny is locked.
