Default Replaced right side axle - now a problem...

Well, the title says it all...

94 Accord EX - Automatic - stock F22

I replaced the right side axle because it was confirmed that it was bent. After replacing it, I drove down the street and made 2 left turns, when I heard a "CLUNK", then the car stopped moving. If I accelerate, the speedo would move, but no power/movement went to the wheels.

I tried to put it in PARK, but I just heard a loud grind so I turned the car off and put it in park. I tried turning it back on and when I put it in drive, the same thing happened. I didn't feel the transmission going into gear and the same thing happened.

What could be wrong? I removed the axle and put it back in and I still get the same thing.

Cliffnotes - replaced axle, drove for about 2 minutes and heard a clunk. Car doesn't move but the motor/RPMs/speedo moves. After I put it in park, you can push the car as if it was neutral. What's wrong?

I hope someone can answer my question. Thanks in advance.

The inner CV joint has popped back out of the differential, perhaps the retaining circlip was damaged or not engaged fully into the differential.

Yes. For some reason or another the connection between the differential and the hub has been lost. Either of the joints could have failed. The axle could have broken. The inner joint shaft could have come out. Or the magic has been depleted. Is it possible that you left the axle nut off?
