Re: head gasket or crack 1997 CIVIC EX
 

I have a 1997 honda civic ex and just had 2 new axels installed about 150
miles ago. This morning one axel just came out of the tranmission and had
to be towerd to the garage where the axels were installed. Does any know
why this would happen? thanks.

My guess: the axle was the wrong one and is too short. The axle end is
supposed to snap into the transmission also, but I think the basic problem
is that the axle is just too short.

One way or another, the mechanic is a goof. The new axles come with
fresh circlips and you have to confirm that they CLICK into place. If
not, it can come out and do a great deal of damage.

1. incorrect installation.
2. torn motor mount.
3. collision damage.

whoever installed should have looked for all 3 before giving you your
keys back and taking your money.
