98 5s stuck in neutral, Video of exactly what's happening uploaded last page Options

So with this parts car I have, the guy I got it from said The cv axles were bad that messed up the transition
Basically the car is in neutral. Even when we put it in park or drove it acts like its in neutral.


Any suggestions what it could be?

(when I was picking up the car, the driver side cv was being attempted to take out, like it was out of the hub nut not I pulled it a little bit but it didn't slip out, maybe the clip inside it broken, could that result in the car reacting this way?)
Itd a 98 5sfe auto

Never mind what I said earlier,
When I was trying to replace it, I realized that the middle boot is pretty much disconnected, so when I'm Tryin to take the but out, its rotating the complete cv. And when I started the car and put it in drive, it's rotatin from the tranny but obviously since its not really connected to the wheels the car doesn't go anywhere.

So now the question is:
What's a way to take the cv out? I can't grip on to the cv with anything can I? The only thing I can think of I'd some big ass vice grips lol
