I'm going with the hard loaded violent torque hit from the tranny failure did the deal.
But, you are right. We will never know now.

Its not like it siezed up and locked. When an output shaft breaks it is clean like a broke glass rod. Then everything still works including the transmission but there is no power out of it to the driveshaft. A hard launch transfers much more shock back thru the system than when the output shaft breaks. I know you somehow want to pin this back on the shaft failure but it just holds no water or logic. Go bust your output shaft and tell me how violent of a shock it is to your engine... It just is not. just sayin.
