They don't know why the driveshaft broke but it did break off while spinning cause the tranny to crack it was a bad mess. Btw thanks for the Bruce cables they are working great!

It's Xdrive, right?
Because I can't understand how shaft is coming behind tranny, meaning connection is ahead of tranny.

So tell us what did happen here. Did you you be able hold a car or car flipped?

Lol everyone I show these too asks me " so what really happend" i was driving on the northern state pkwy in long island and heard a metallic banging noise then a bang and this was the outcome. And yes it's an xi. Motorcepts hooked it up and now it drives even better than before. Except that weird reverse noise. Lol which I'm trying to get done.
