Hi Rick
In my view the symptoms that you describe is most likely to be the pinion moving away from the crown wheel when you lift off.
Depending on which axle you have got fitted decides the exact remedy.
If you disconnect the prop shaft you can feel if there is any play back and forth from the flange.
If there is I would suggest removing the torque tube and get it on the bench to eliminate the problem.
It may just need the thrust adjusting, then it should not require a reset on the axle.
On the other hand if the trust bearings are clapped (they should feel beautifully smooth to be OK) then a full strip down and reset with new bearings will be needed.
Hope that is helpful.
