It sounds like your Vue is having transmission issues despite fixing the CV axle and seal. The fact that it stops pulling after a couple of minutes and works again after cooling off could suggest a couple of things. First, it could be a fluid pressure issue, meaning the transmission fluid might not circulate properly due to a clog or damaged pump. Another possibility is that the transmission could have been damaged due to low fluid levels when the seal was leaking, leading to overheating or worn internal components. You might want to have the transmission fluid checked again, ensuring it's clean and at the proper level, and look into whether any transmission-related trouble codes are stored.
