HELP! Driveline grinding noise...

[11secDSM]

I just got back from a two hour road trip. On my way home, I started hearing a vibration coming from my driveline. It progressively got worse. Then when I pressed the clutch in, it got WAY worse. By the time I got home, it sounded like my car was about to fall apart. Under hard cornering, you can hear it and also when you press the clutch in. It is a griding/vibrating type of noise. The weird thing is that it happened all of a sudden under highway crusing conditions. Can anyone PLEASE help me diagnose this problem? Broken axle? Clutch problem? Driveshaft problem? I have a brand new ACT 2600 in and it has not given me any problems. I really have no idea what the noise/grinding is coming from! Please HELP! Thanks!

....I just took it out for another drive...now it grinds the whole time I'm driving and I can BARELY get the car in gear. Even when the clutch is in it seams like it isn't disengaged the whole way. Looks like it's time for a new trans!! GREAT!! Just put a new motor in and now, THIS! ugh! ..the saga continues..........

Sounds like the diffs are gone. There should be axle play (side to side) at the tranny if it is gone.

make sure you clutch master and slave clinders are ok, and make sure the slave cyl is pushing the clutch all the way to disengauge it
