Default Somthing broke and I need your opinion!!!!!

So I was driving yesterday and the drive train started making noise. Like the drive shaft broke but it is still spining and hitting something. the tranny gets into all gears easy and my brother does not hear the gears making noise. He says it sounds like its betwwen the tranny and rear but the drive shaft looks fine. what could it be. I have been reading posts with nopt much of a solution

Kinda reminds me when my pinion bearing went out at 80mph on interstate one night. It made some racket and a bad vibration. Did you look to see if the if there were any leaks or just something obvious that had broken?

Hmm I just had vibrations the other night in 4th, kinda like TC shudder. But when I pulled up to my exit I noticed grinding in first, second was fine. Then the next morning I had no pull for a while. I was thinking tranny but this makes me debate it....

Sounds like a broken positraction. If the spiders are broke it will spin the driveshaft but the car will go nowhere fast.
