Check the welds on your axle tubes.

I've broken them before, and when they axle tube welds break, the U-joint retainer bolts will hit the driveshaft. You'll probably have to hammer a good socket onto the bolts to remove them... replace them with good ones from a salvage vehicle.

From the looks of the second photo you posted the differential housing rotated up when you dumped the clutch binding the rear u joint.

From the photos posted, the sequence of events went something like this.
Clutch is dumped, the sudden application of a large amount of torque to the rear end causes the leaf springs to wrap up allowing the pinion end of the differential housing to move upward to the point that the yoke on the front end of the differential contacts the drive shaft, damaging the bolts, bending the drive shaft & cracking the rear transmission mount. If such an event occured with your vehicle, it would be advisable to replace the u-jount as well as any other damaged parts & install a set of traction bars if you plan to do these kinds of launches in the future

I replace the bolts and the retaing straps . runs alot smoother but the u-joint needs to be replaced . Any way besides heating it to get it out . Doesn't have the clips , it is still the factory with 133,xxx miles
