I get that but still travels to and from the carb stud so as you accelerate more it’s moving or decreasing speed and increase or decreases if that makes sense

If the transmission KD lever isn't moving at all, the trans will shift into 2nd way too soon.....and that is a tell tail sign something isn't right and time to start looking things over.

Heck the bushing in the tail housing. It was probably worn causing the yoke to be sloppy in there. Kim
Every broken tail shaft I've seen has been drive shaft related. Out of balance, broken U joint, shaft too short, shaft too long, wrong pinion angle. I've repaired two that actually bent the output shaft at about a 20 degree angle. Both required floor board repair.

The input shaft is sticking pretty far OUT of the tail shaft. They make 2 different ones a long one and a shorter one. This one looks like it’s barely in and if it’s the shorter version that could have been the issue. Start with the correct length driveshaft and then also check pinion angle…

Mine was caused by improper rear u joint installation. First pass down the track after assembly it let go. Some dumbass (me) didn't install the joint correctly.

Everyone may be correct, but also your transmission may of been damaged from handling before installing, with a hairline Crack and might of just let go finally.
It has happened to me, I replaced the tail housing in car 10 years ago and still working great.
