If it's not a drive shaft it could be the clutch plate has given up - it's quite common for the whole center to tear out. Get someone to try to apply power while you look at the drive shafts - if one moves at the gear box end but nothing else that shaft (or the CV joint) has gone, broken bolts should be obvious, if neither shaft moves and the bolts are ok it's likely the clutch or possibly the first motion shaft in the gearbox.
