Default Torque tube??? Help...please

Took my car for some highway pulls, car is running great, approach a light, stopped and when I try to engage on 1st gear the car wouldn't move, it moved very slow and a horrible cracking rattling noise could be heard...
Did my torque tube took a dump?? I didn't smell the clutch or anything of that sort

I have a M6 LS2 with 650whp...
Has anybody run onto this problem?
How did you guys fixed it or what did you replaced?
Upgraded it? Cost?

...oh God I can hear the mechanic shop going $$$$$$!!

The couplers and bearings are usually replaced in a rebuild. Cost would be right around clutch replacement which can be anywhere from $600 to $1500 depending on where you take it. It's too hard to tell if this is your problem or not from the video.
