[Vwdiesel] HELP - WHEEL FELL OFF !!!

[Rolf Pechukas]

OK, so several days after my mishap (http://93ev.4u2bu.org/ 
wheeloff.html), everything supposedly repaired, I'm highway driving  
and tranny starts popping out of 5th gear
hmmm
I hold it in and keep going (tight schedule)
I stop at a light, try to go from 1st, and nothing
no engagement
I push van to side of road and look under
driver's side axle, the one they just replaced, is pulled away from  
transaxle again
tranny fluid leaked out, etc

trying to figure out:

- what they did wrong (circlip not installed? drive flange not  
examined, maybe damaged? something misaligned? what'd they miss ??)

- what do I do now? any way to hold axle in somehow, just so I can  
get myself somewhere useful? get AAA'd back home? grrrr
I had called the mechanic when they were doing the work with all my  
list of tips and suggestions and make-sure-to's from all my cyber  
buddies and he wouldn't even listen - "we're all over it" he said

yeah, well
my tranny fluid is all over the side of the road now

anyway, any further hints very much appreciated
(writing this from inside the van where I just happen to have  
wireless internet from a nearby motel
bless the information age)

thanks all
