Thats a strange scenerio. I'm pretty confident an axle cannot pop out unless you break it. You might have a bad speedo cable.

I've seen it happen a few times, but only if the axle wasn't seated properly in the transmission in the first place, and it normally happens within a day or 2 after the axle has been incorrectly installed.

'92 - '00 civics don't use a speedometer cable, they use an electronic vehicle speed sensor, which may have died.

If the car drives fine then its not axle related, check the VSS and the gauge cluster.

Ha...The Same thing Happened to me once......Most likely the axle did pop out.....It probably wasn't installed right and the teeth eventually wore down......which made it come out.....Thats what seemed to be my case......cause the teeth on the end of the axle were done......But I'm not 100%....hopefully that helps...

to be honest, thats happened to me on more than one occasion. the problem was that the parts guy gave me the wrong axle, which was just a bit short, and the axle nut kept pulling to the tire side and out of the transmission when i drove the car.

So just to confirm here, at this point the car will not move under its own power? If so and the speedo still moves you can rule out the clutch, after that its either internal transmission damage (most likely a blown diff pin, although they often punch a hole through the top of the transmission case destroying the VSS) or its axle related.
