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

Okay so I had it towed to a shop (just brakes) for the cv
I had them replace the passenger first

When he took it off, he looked at the new axle and claimed its wrong because it didn't come with a bracket that was near the middle of the axle. (Sorry didn't take pics then) after going to all 3 major stores they all said that it doesn't come with it.
So I asked him to take it off the original one that came off the car. He took a round clip off around the bearing and put it on the new one

Installed the new one and when we started the car an put it in drive, same thing

The axle is moving from the tranny side but isn't turning the wheel side

Here's a video I made just for the heck of it it' was made before he installed the new axle

Keep in mind, that with the axle off, I turned the driver wheel and the tranny WAS turnin inside hence it should turn the passenger too
