The Anti Snatch Device

Halfway along the prop shaft is a device that takes up the snatch in the drive line, thus protecting the VERY expensive silicon 4 wheel drive device located just before the diff. The anti snatch device comprises a metal inner connected to a metal outer ring by rubber, it is the rubber that splits/cracks and generally breaks up, eventually resulting in a free spinning outer ring.

(NOTE: while you do the repair you can take this device off completely and re-join the prop allowing you to keep driving the car. But drive her VERY GENTLY, operating the clutch nice and smoothly to eliminate driveline shocks)

To make a repair you will need to fill the cracks and gaps with a product called SIKAFLEX (comes in tubes - basically it is a rubber that sets soon after contact with air)
