Looks like it may be fixable if I just bang it back a little, It might need a balace too.

All it needs is a little super glue and duct tape.

well, I have a drive shaft loop, but it wasnt bolted up at the time. I had just got my car back together and was taking for a test drive. Out at cruise spot and on the way home. A guy in a BMW was next to me fooling around ( i knew the guy) so i gased it.

The Trans is a 5 speed tremec from Keisler, and it has a bracket on the tailshaft that hangs over the diveshaft yolk just a bit. It must have been out of adjustment or loose cus at about 60-70 mph the yolk smaked the trans, the sudden jerk yanked it out of the rear end, it banged around, took out my exhaust and bent in half as you see here. Also the cracked the casing of the trans.

No one hurt, i coasted it to the side of the road safely.

gonna be a little while till i get that thing back on the road again.

I hope you can get it back together before summer is over.  Good luck.  I'm glad it didn't cause any more damage.  It could have been really bad.
