Damaged trans?
Time to crawl under that begger and take a look. If the front yoke is still intact and hanging on the output shaft, probably not. If you exploded the front yoke like I did once, you might find the transmission extension housing in pieces, most of them gone. I found several laying on the ground and not even close to the path of the car. Brake cables kept the shaft from turning into a pogo stick. If the output shaft splines are twisted, you've probably found a contributor to the early demise of the u-joint.
