That's the output shaft from the transmission.
Gotta take the Trans apart to fix. They make a hardened version, as well as a 30 spline piece.

I put the 30 spline in my Trans when I had it built. The pinion needs to be machined to accept the 30 spline shaft. About $250 if I remember correctly.

Good luck with your repairs.

Good question. I just had the shop that built my Trans source the parts.

There are several vendors on here that build transmissions. Perhaps they'll chime in here.
