Default Problem with drive shaft?

So heres the story...I got in a minor accident, or atleast it seemed that way at the time, and resulted in a curbed wheel and a leaking drive shaft. So the next morning I took it to a couple places to have it checked out, including the Honda dealer. Everyone I went to said I needed to replace my drive shaft. I didn't have $1,100.00 to spend at the time, so I drove it for about another week without getting it fixed.

Unsurprisingly the car started to do some strange things. When I would punch the car through 1st, 2nd 3rd and so on, the engine would rev but it didn't seem like all the power was getting to the wheels. It would kind of hick-up as I accelerated. So I decided to take the money out of savings to get it fixed. It was fixed and all seemed well...until now. The car ran fine for about a week until today when the car started doing the same exact thing.

Does the problem I described seem like a problem with the drive shaft? Or could it be something else?

hopefully someone will chime in with some good help.

Are you sure the clutch isn't slipping but that wouldn't hickup. Could be a diff?

Yeah I knew it wasn't a good decision, and hopefully I won't regret not having it done.

A friend of mine also suggested that it might be the clutch slipping...I guess only time will tell.

Thanks guys
