1G new cv shaft keeps popping out

[jt-juice]

i recently replaced my front passenger cv axle with a new one. For some reason I keep getting this recurring issue where the shaft keeps popping out from the inner end that connects into the trans. When i put it back in its a nice and snug fit and when it comes out it pops outward about an inch. It always seems to happen just as I'm coming in my drive which is a sharp right off the main hwy.

I thought it was a bad front engine mount as even with the new axle I was getting a popping sound when torquing. Upon changing that mount the popping sound has been eliminated but the axle still somehow manages to come out?

Any advice or ideas guys? this is the fourth time it's happened in the past 2 weeks and my gear oil bill at this point could have been better spent on something much more fun for the car.

Isn't there suppose to be a axle clip that goes around the axle when it goes into the tranny. It deals with something abs related. That also helps it from coming out.

suppose to be a clip around there.

If so you might of bought the wrong one.

yep the clip looks fine and intact. i should also mention that before i changed the axle the old one was not doing this. I'm sure it's the correct part as i sized it next to the old core before returning the spent core.

any other advice anyone? i've never seen this happen before and can't find anything in search regarding this issue. In thee mean time I'm gonna return the new shaft as all i can think is maybe it's defective?
