ok… Is it possible for a near stock 5.0l to twist a driveshaft? i was starting to undo the tc bolts… and i look back, and notice the driveshaft is completely twisted and bent, sitting on top of the passenger side h-pipe…looks like the splines wouldve been brought about an 1" -2.5"s out of the back of the tranny… is this possible any other way? like if i twisted the crankshaft the wrong way even if it was in park or neutrol? Im completely befuddled… Oh and a mod can merge my 2 threads, i just need an answer… ---

Did you run over something that would have hit the driveshaft and bent it thus causing it to pull out from the tranny also? ---

ive honestly never driven the car… the story goes… we thought the tranny was slipping and it seamed like it was… one day, the car died, and never started again, it was towed 3x, and because it didnt turn over or run, they wouldnt fix the tranny… we got it back, it sat for the winter, we pushed it into the garage and it took we 2hrs with my big hands to re order the spark plugs… anyway, alright here we go… 1st the driveshaft…from the tranny side… you can see where it starts to turn towards the exhaust… ![http://sn107w.snt107.mail.live.com/att/GetAttachment.aspx?tnail=1&messageId=a931c06d-57c6-4791-9417-0d4f5d812cf3&Aux=4|0|8CBBE46AA8E5750|](http://sn107w.snt107.mail.live.com/att/GetAttachment.aspx?tnail=1&messageId=a931c06d-57c6-4791-9417-0d4f5d812cf3&Aux=4%7C0%7C8CBBE46AA8E5750%7C) and here it is at the rearend… all fawked up… ![http://sn107w.snt107.mail.live.com/att/GetAttachment.aspx?tnail=0&messageId=a931c06d-57c6-4791-9417-0d4f5d812cf3&Aux=4|0|8CBBE46AA8E5750|](http://sn107w.snt107.mail.live.com/att/GetAttachment.aspx?tnail=0&messageId=a931c06d-57c6-4791-9417-0d4f5d812cf3&Aux=4%7C0%7C8CBBE46AA8E5750%7C) ---

it was flat bedded it wiegans, than to some place in cranberry than back to our place where we pushed it into our garage with our mercedez… i honestly dont know what happened, brad, my brother and owner doesnt know either… I think a combo on n-bombs, a rust shaft and a shit load of brake torques… tomorrow im tearing it the rest of the way out and gonna see if it was the rear or the tranny… whatever it was, it jumped the timing… i think? ---
