Something broken inside.  Pull trans, replace broken stuff.

Sounds like what happened to me when my pumpkin died. Everything OK =
until you let out the clutch. The pumpkin was locked up and stopped the =
drive shaft, but it still rolled of pushed.

Pull the drain and see what comes out. Much easier than pulling the =
tranny first.

Sounds like a broken half shaft, except for the dying part. It's easier to
start looking at the axle, then to pull the transmission.
