How did a rotoflex cause a driveshaft to hit the transmission? The rear driveshaft is BEHIND the transmission. Are you sure you didn't just break a regular ujoint on the front shaft or something?
If it's leaking fluid etc, you probably broke the housing and need to replace the transmission. Common when a front shaft breaks a u-joint, but not as common when a rear shaft goes.

i am sorry but it was the front shaft that broke lose from the u-joint. it broke and the transmission fluid leak out. I mean all of it. but how can i tell if i have damaged the trans. I was able to pull of the road immediately and get a tow truck to take my truck home. if it is damaged please let me know if a new trans or a used one is better.

A new transmission will cost you more than the truck is worth. Get a good used one for $300 or so. You really need to find where the leak is coming from, but it's not unheard of for a front shaft to whack the housing and break it.

Default broken dirve shaft

what i really mean is that the drive shaft broke of its attachment and hit the bottom of the transmission pan broken the broken a piece of the bottom that attaches between the gasket and the transmission pan. how do i get something welded to keep the transmission fluid from leaking out of the transmission. what i mean is that the bottom that attaches to the transmission pan has a broken piece out of it. so i need something to gave me a flat service to be able to replace the pan or i will not be able to put in transmission fluid.
