Thanks for explaining, dmorgan; it sounds like the front end of the driveshaft at the transmission output came loose and was flailing about wildly within the tunnel.
Genuine Mercedes Parts dot Com (discount online parts outlet for Mercedes-Benz of Alpharetta, GA) shows this part number for the tunnel at $248 brand new, but the real expense is going to be in the labor to get the old one exposed and cut out and then the new one welded in, painted and then reassembled.
I'd recommend that you take it to a proper body shop for a cost estimate unless you "know a guy." There are those who will say the cost isn't worth it, but that decision is up to you - best of luck with it.
Best Regards,
Rob
