Just get another driveshaft the correct length from the junkyard, put new u-joints in it, and stuff it in there.

Didn't you notice a vibration or clunking when changing gears?

+1 for a wrecking yard driveshaft. I bought one for $100.

Replace the rear tranny seal while you're at it.

So maybe $200.
