I went to the axle shop to have it replaced...
After 3 blocks the car stopped, the oil was transmission oil was on the floor. The shop claims its the transmission is the issue, they think the axle is stuck due to heat. So someone how it melted and integrated to the transmission... I went to the guy that re-constructed the transmission and he says: "That's impossible, the only thing that got that axle stuck is the clip"
Guy wants to give me 150$ and the axle...
I paid 70$ hes giving me 80$ + axle..
Great...!
Any suggestions?

I'm a little confused with the info here but if you had a shop change the axle and then 3 blocks later the car stopped moving & dumping tranny oil on the ground,,,,,,it sounds like an axle just popped out.
Inspect the axle and if the C clip isn't damaged & the splines are ok, pop it back in. If anything looks off, change out the axle....
This should be a non issue and the 1st shop should take care of this and if it is a defective axle that would also include the tow...

I went in to the axle shop and had them change my axle. The axle gave up on me 3 blocks away, they did pay for the towing back. The shop brought a "transmission specialist" and he told them the issue was on the transmissions end and perhaps its stuck because it got so hot it integrated into the transmission. They offered me returning my 70$ and giving me 80$ more plus the axle for free.
I went to the transmission shop that re-constructed my transmission and the guy said That the axle should be able to come out when the ring is broken.
I will have a mechanic try to bring it out tomorrow but for now I need the forums advice.
Thanks

You just repeated the same thing you said the first time that could not be understood. Nothing that your saying is making any sense as Sidom has already told you. The axle just slips inside the transmission and locks in with a clip. It's either still attached or it isn't. Your going to need more accurate details for anyone to be able to tell you anything.

Problem is basic, The axle is stuck, they tried bringing it out and they damaged the transmission bearing.

I've seen this before if I'm interpreting all the info correctly....
It sounds like they forced an axle into the tranny, where they should've just tried a different one. The axle failed and now they can't get it out. It's not a case of overheating, it's a case of the slip ring being to big or the splines on the inner CV joint being damaged and forced into the tranny. On stubborn ones the other axle can be removed and the stubborn axle driven out from the back side, there is tools designed for this but usually won't work when an axle has been forced into a tranny. Being it's an "axle shop" I'm assuming they have already tried this with no luck.
If that's the case the tranny is going to have to come out and the case split to fix this, only to split the case BOTH axles have to be out of the tranny.....
If I've got all that right, it's looking like you are going to be needing a new tranny....
I would tell them to keep the offer they made and just get your car fixed so it works the same way it did when you originally brought it in...
