cv meaning continuous velocity? can the tranny get damaged if the inner joint fails?
there was some harsh clicking as a result, and while my buddy was driving behind me to the shop he noticed a piece of flat black plastic fly out from under the car.

I'm not sure about the "plastic" portion, but I think he is referring to the CV joint's internals.
Here is a generic picture of a CV joint...
