i replaced the passenger cv joint ( half shaft) on my 92 grand am last night since it was making rubbing and popping noises for a while, after i was done i took it for a test drive but didn't make it more than 50 feet out of the driveway before my transmission went out does anyone know if this is related to me replacing the cv joint ???? i bought the car used from someone about 6 month ago and have had nothing but problems with it,PLEASE HELP ....i'm military and don't have a lot of time to research the problem, my wife needs the car to run again ASAP. Thanks

If the transmission went out completely it is very doubtful that it had anything to do with the replacement of the axle shaft. What exactly did the transmission do when it went out? It is possible that the seal on the axle shaft allowed all the fluid to come out of the transmission and that is why it is not working but you would have seen that very easily.
