Drive shaft pushed INTO transmission?

[19trax95]

So the "mechanic" knowingly put the shaft in with the slip yolk bottomed out in the trans? If that is true then you need a new mechanic. The slip yolk is there so when the axle moves (going over bumps, loading the bed, etc) the driveshaft can move without hitting the inside of the trans or pulling out of the trans.

Would dropping the truck cause the shaft to be pushed in?

if you read my post its all you need to know, yes it shortens the distance between trans and rear end, sounds like your mechanic ed up your trans i suggest finding one with a brain. in park you need to check for axle wrap and fix that then get your shaft shortened.

that noise sounds like loose bolts on torque convertor to flexplate dont run it any longer without tightening them

Whats wierd it started doing it as soon as i put it into reverse to park here at my job. So i shouldnt drive it back home at all? Get it towed?

look up any driveline place some are better than others get a measurement and take it to them, for a standard like 1310-1330 joint front and rear reusing your slip yoke, new tube straight and balance it should be 200 tops.
