Default 6k Clutch Dump on ET Streets=Twisted Driveshaft

I guess it was too much for a stock driveshaft

Everything seems to be ok as far as I can tell. I put a new stronger driveshaft in today and it seems to be driving fine. There were a few scratches on my TA but nothing too excessive. I need to get it up on a lift and get a better view.
