I have some questions about my CV shaft I can't seem to get it to come out of the transmission. I've tried to pry it out and pull it out but nothing really is seeming to work. I was wondering if yall had any better ideas for me?

It should pop out, the best tool to use is a slide hammer with a "C" shaped attachment, you may be able to rent from an autoparts store.

CV shaft is held in with small "C" clip and can sometimes get stuck.

Try to rent the slide hammer tool, it is the easiest way. If not available, then ask a shop for the cost to remove and repair.
