Default So, I broke the "unbreakable"

Because of my pinion angle problem, I was on the way to my local "build em up tall" shop to find some new shims, and well at 65 on the freeway I felt it give threw it in neutral and came to a stop, turned on my directional stick. And then crawled under to take a lookey see...

My Tom woods drive shaft was now making an akward U shape on the yoke side. (Id post a picture but I had it "pressed back")

Are there any quick swaps that will work? Until I can acquire enough money to replace it?

Its a double cardan rear telescoping rear. As with most Tom Woods...
31.25 inches before the cardan
34.5 inches after the cardan...

The faster the better!

And yes, the rx7 runs so I have a drive around. I just miss my Jeep already ahah (Doritos on a stick <3)
