Is My Tranny Screwed??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I pulled the 350 outta my truck today. did everything right, had a jack under the tranny holding it up. went for supper and parts, came back and saw something really bad. the jack under the tranny leaked down, and basically dropped my tranny. the tranny fell to the passenger side and down in front. its still laying in the truck, but the tailshaft is nearly touching the bottom of the cab. i have 2 guestions.

1-the tranny mount, from what i can see, isnt solid, as in there isnt a bolt runs though the rubber and holds the trannyand mount to the crossmemeber. or am i wrong? if thats the case, can the tranny just be set back on the mount and bolted too the engine again?

2-The shaft(i think its called the tailshaft) that comes out of the back off the tranny has been pulled out about 1.5 inches furhter than usual. Is that bad? it must be, but im really hoping that it can be pushed back in and away we go. if not, what needs to be done?

I really hope these questions make sense, as this is really important to me and i hope i can get some answers. thanx a ton in advance
