You replaced the transaxles, correct? If that is the case and you replaced them yourself, was the problem there before the replacement? If not, are they seated in to the tranny all the way? If they are seated and you still experience the slipping and grinding, your manual? tranny is in need of replacement.

Suggested Repair

Confirm the replacement axles are fully seated in the transmission. If they are seated and the driver-side slipping or grinding continues, the transmission needs replacement.
