Wow, forgot this post was out here. The tranny was all messed up.
I pulled the drive shaft, and the splines on the yoke were twisted pretty bad. So, everytime the car squatted, the yoke was pushing on the tailshaft and eventually the tranny had enough, and something broke. I replaced the driveshaft, and Jack got the tranny all straightened out. He gave me a handful of busted metal parts when I picked it up. Shifts great now, and this weekend I should be able to test it out and hopefully get that 10 that I have been trying for.
So, if anyone has trouble getting their driveshaft to slide into the tranny, check for a twisted yoke. It can be hazardous to your tranny's health.

11.3@123mph on 195/75/14" whitewalls. Yes, 195s!
11.2 on the big giant slicks. What's the point? Maybe I'll go back to the whitewalls. They are lighter and have less rolling resistance.
