when its running and you put it in gear what does it do? it sounds like you broke an axel

I popped the passenger side axle when I swapped motor because the axle wasn't pushed in all the way. It was a rather loud pop. (was backing car up my steep driveway*

thats how mine happened my friend was backing the car out the drive way(car was off) and then we heard a loud pop, we thought maybe the cv joint so we took it off cause it wasnt fitting perfect exchanged it and the second one went in alot beter but still nothing.**** when the cars running and i put it in gear it just revs but it doesnt even try to move.

Did you replace the correct joint? j/k :)

There's good advise here, you should be able to find a solution. GL
