ok it been a while since i been on here i will talk about it on another topic, but anyway about a 5 months ago i needed my brakes done and i was at college at my dorm and couldn't do it myself cuz i wasn't home, so i took it to a shop close by so i can walk there and pick it up when it was done well i stayed there while they were working on it for a little and they couldn't get the axle out of the knuckle and they were torching it to get it out, well i was like umm ok, so i left to go to class and after class was over my car was done, so i left to go get it, it drove fine for about 800 miles and then i was hearing noises and vibrations with cracking sound so i took it back they said i had a bad axle so i got it replaced, drove it hearing the sound again so i took it back and they said i need new wheels bearing so after a month i went back 5 times to keep replacing axles and bearing on both sides, so i got fed up with it and took it to the dealer the dealer says i need a new transmission because they bearing in the transmission went and you cant replace the ones in the transmission you need to get another. so now i dont know what is wrong with my tibby shes been sitting there in the driveway for 3 months. oh on the side not i did see the garage who did my prior work hammer my axle into the tranny cuz it wouldn't go in easy. Any help or info would be help me alot, thank you
cheers

It could be a tranny issues, that does sound likely after that garage butchered the axel like that and hammered it in. My main concern though is after seeing the way they were working on it and having them obviously soak you for new axel and wheel bearing why you would go back to have more work done. It's a shame how garages will pray on people like that.
