It's an issue with the material around the intermediate shaft's bearing race not being structurally sound enough to handle the power we're putting down.

The shaft tries to separate itself from the input shaft gears when they mesh together, it's a pushing motion that only increases with torque.

big dumps and repeated launches will cause the bellhousing to crack and spill it's guts.
