Check the clip at the end of the axle where it goes into the transmission. Also, when you insert the axle, make sure it clicks in at the tranny.

I'd be careful w/that. If you expand it too much it may jam in there or not go in at all. You should be able to tell if the axle has engaged within the tranny by pulling on the metal part that just went into the tranny. Don't pull on the outer CV joint as you could damage it. I usually install mine by pushing it in by hand then putting the outer shaft in the knuck and pushing it in that way also.
