My guess is a something with the U-joints. I'd also double check the length. It's probably Ok and just a bad joint, but maybe there was just enoughdifference in the length of the two tranny's to through the driveshaft angle off just a hair.

Since you mentioned it, if you don't find something with the u-joints, I would then suspect something with your Torque convertor. Maybe a bolt came loos or youir flex plate cracked
