Yep, Pinion Bearing is gone. By your description it sure sounded like the Th400 R Slam. But yeah, you can clearly see the angle of the pinion change. I wouldn't be driving that one much. If it's not to far, limp it to where ever you plan on doing the work and park it.

When you rebuild it make sure you change the axle seals. Looks like both of yours are leaking (wet mark on the backing plate of the brakes)
