It is a 1998, 138,000 miles, automatic. CRV. I was not having any
problems with the transmission until the axle change. Riding down the
road and quit pulling, transmission noises. Transmission shop said
axle was chewed up on end and clip wouldn't stay on causing axle to
move in and out, causing transmission problem. I did notice a leak two
days before and it took about a quart and a half of fluid.
