That's quite a leap without even looking at the car.

The car will need to be looked at to determine what is happening. Did the tail pipe get crushed? What does she consider a slipping trans to be? ( High engine RPM relative to road speed , no power, engine won't rev ? )

Check the shifter bushings as they may have been falling apart already.

The rear subframe would have to be pushed very far forward to out run the slip joint and crush the trans. ( as in rear wheels rubbing front of wheel wells. )
