is it auto or manual? what motor? that enclosed drive shaft is called a torque tube. all the power from the rear axle is pushed on that tube, in turn pushes on the transmission, pushing on the engine. they are not too hard to work on at all. you need to give more details about what drive train you have formore info on parts. dave stohler
