Did you figure the problem out? I'm having the exact problem and I'm trying to figure out where to start... thanks

No i haven't. I am getting new gears and an detroit truetrac in a few weeks so i will inspect the old gears and housing.

I pulled out of my driveway one morning and heard a loud pop and then it started doing it. There are metal shavings, very few, in the fluid every time i change the fluid. The only thing i have done is change the pinion seal a few times so. I tightened down the nut on the yoke according to jeeps fsm

Mine did the same thing! What was it?

gears rubbing against housing? too much lash?

I got a regear, the old gears were not chipped, burred, or messed up in any way. The drivetrain guy who did the regear said it was the clutches in the Limited Slip making the noise. I have never heard clutches making that noise before. I always used gear oil with a friction modifier, so I dont know why they would have went out. All is good now with a Detroit True-Trac.
