Default Car wont move

I was hoping someone could help me out about something. I bought an h22a ek hatch a couple weeks ago. When I bought the car everything thing worked fine. The LSD transmission was pefect and nothing seemed wrong with it. The only problem my car had was the axles. So I bought axles from hasport. After I finished putting them in I started the car and it moved perfectly. I drove down the road a bit and when I shifted the car stopped moving. The thing is I can feel the clutch engage but it just doesnt want to move in any gears. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Check the axles again. Possibly popped out.

Hmm I will have to check. Even if one did pop out wouldn't the car still move because of the LSD?

Have no idea about LSD. I just remember once when I took my car to a shop one popped out and stopped my car cold on the way home.

In gear, when you push down on the gas pedal, does the speedometer register higher speed with higher engine rpms?

When I was looking at the axles the car was on and I could still see them moving. What do you think is wrong with the axles?

Not sure what you are saying. The axles turn but the wheels don't move?

What do you think is wrong with the axles?
How much gap is there between the axles and transmission differential?

Sorry didnt really clarify. When I move the car forward and back the axles still rotate.

Im not sure off the top of my head. I would have to jack up the car again and look. Why?

This only tells you that the axles are engaged with the wheels not that the axles are engaged with the transmission.

If the gap is greater than about 1/8", then the axles have popped out of the transmission/differential and will be unable to move the wheels. Post pictures.

Okay that acutally makes alot of sense. Im assuming the axles just weren't pushed in all the way?

I will have to look under the car and see, but I will post pics asap.

Possibly. When the axles are fully inserted into the differential, the set ring at the end of the axle should lock it in place.

Well if it turns out that my axles are in fact locked into place. What are some other things that could make it so the car wouldnt move? Any ideas?

FIRST check the axles. Then go from there.

Well I did check to see if the axle was popped out and im guessing it is. There was definitely more than 1/8 of an inch. I would say it was more like an inch or more. So I would say thats probably the problem lol.
