No codes except a 32 speed sensor?
So does this mean my transaxle needs to be replaced and if so will the front driveshaft as well?
Not shy to do the work myself, but anyone chiming in about this repair job is much appreciated.
And lastly how does this occur?

Unless someone converted your X to a front wheel drive only SAV, you don't have a transaxle. You have a transfer case and a front differential. Most likely the splines in the transfer case are stripped.
You can rebuild the transfer case with a new hub with new splines. You should replace the seals and the chain if you are going through with a rebuild.
You should also replace the front drive shaft spline end. This will entail cutting off the spline end and welding in a replacement spline end. There's a guy on ebay that sells replacement driveshaft with an extended spline end. He will need your old driveshaft or you can give him a core deposit and he will send you a driveshaft already modified. Core deposit will be return once you send him the old driveshaft.
4.6 with a lead right foot cause this. Need to stop doing burnouts at the lights.
