Default Happy to learn

After a really hard launch with tires spinning the tranny grabbed 2nd gear right over a manhole. Ouch! took out the outer u joint. But i was so happy to find out that i was able to remove the shaft without having to disassemble anything else. Just the Ubolts for the universals. Just wanted to pass this info on to others that may have wondered about that.
