CHUNKYFUNKY, if the front of the driveshaft broke, it's still attached to the rear and would keep spinning as long as the car was moving, the front of the driveshaft would hit the ground and fly sideways while spinning, probably going under your rear tires and tearing apart your rearend and any other parts around it. It could also drop down and catch on the ground which would either polevault the rear of the car or push the rearend backwards and out from under your car. If the rear of the driveshaft broke, it could possibly catch on something or bang around under your car (you could push in the clutch or put it in nutreul and it would stop spinning and just drag) but it would probably fall out pretty quick. I'd definitely rather lose some trans fluid as apposed to a rear/entire car/life, although I don't know how much fines are for spilling on the track. Anyone know????
I'm not trying to talk sh*t, I figured the loop would be in the back until I thought about it.
