Are your universal joints broken?
And do you mean transmission shaft?

Sounds like to me he means his center drive dogbone.

if your dogbone is bent or worn out, it'll fall out. also, you may want to check where your upper deck meets the front bulkhead to make sure it's not damaged.

maybe you lost small rubber o-rings that sit in joints. These do not allow shaft to move back and forth and even when joint screw gets a bit loose they dont pop out. I also had same problem, just cut small slice of eraser, put in both joints and check if shaft is not moving. If is is not then u can play with your toy
