Someone needs to calculate with your tire size how many RPM's that thing was doing when it broke. It must have been insanely high.

Build it back stronger!!

Driveshaft rpm = engine rpm/gear - converter slip. Unlocked in third at 6300 the driveshaft was spinning less than 6300.

6300 divide by 1 for third, minus the converter slip rpm.
