94 mazda mx3 - 1.6L, 5speed - driver side axle problem

[pdoan_98]

My mechanic tells the driver side axle is "stuck" on the inside connection. My mechanic spent a couple of hours trying to uninstall the axle to no avail. Any ideas? My mechanic said I might call a transmission shop because it seems to be "stuck" to the drive axle???

Help

Hi!

So, there's a spring clip that sits on the axle that holds it inside the transmission (part #1 in the manual link below). There are many methods that people say get these things out.

Here's a few thread from the forum on the issue. They should give you some ideas.
