dude.

Who installed it? Time to go hold them to account.

If you did it, time for a new transaxle. Car-part FTW.

that is very weird ...I had the half shaft pull out of the trans last weekend while cruising down the higway, the nuts holding it to the bracket came off. no damage done. slide the half shaft back into the trans and added fluid and was good to go ...

What side was it? Driver side or passenger side? What was wrong with the previous one? Your diff may have been bad in the first place and then finally blew up when you put the new shaft in.

yeah whoever installed it cracked the case chances are unless the diff exploded like stated.
