I need some expert advice and diagnostic skills here
I pulled my rear diff cover off to replace the seal and just clean it out. When I'd changed the oil previously, it had chunks and a ton of man glitter (I'm not so worried about the glitter as that seems to be normal, it just seems to be super heavy)
While open, I took a look at my ring and pinion because it makes bad whining noises in 4th and 5th gear and there seems to be a little bit of slop in the driveline. I'm not sure how this looks to you all, but it seems fine to me.
I don't see anywhere that the chunks would have come from, other than possibly the spider gears which are hidden by the locker. Now in regards to the bad gear whine, could backlash or setup being wrong cause it?
