So I just finished installing a one piece dss after my original driveshaft sheered the rear bolts and broke off. Now i just took it down the road and i can hear a sound everytime i press in the clutch or let of the gas. Almost sounds like a bearing is going somewhere. I put it back up on the hoist and the driveshaft is clearing everything and I made sure all the bolts were tight. Any Ideas?

I Just want to drive my car again

I'd call the company that you purchased the DS from. If it didn't do it before and it's just started since putting in the new DS, I'd be on the phone ASAP...

When you put it on the lift, were the wheels supporting the weight of the car? If not, the driveshaft could still be hitting once it's resting on the wheels. Sounds like as long as the driveshaft is loaded (accelerating), nothing is hitting. When it's unloaded by pushing in clutch or letting off the gas, it shifts enough to hit on something.
