Your diff is dead. There is a nylon gear in the diff that connects to a speedo and that little sucker is all chewed up. Do yourself a favour. Don't drive that car anymore. Tow it to a reputable shop and fix it. You are looking at about 4k to fix both tranny and diff. Your tranny will have to be rebuilt and your diff will have to rebuilt as well.

As for getting parts for the diff, make sure you get a whole set. The gears in the diff are not regular gears. They are paired for life and you need a matching set. If you want pics of what a chewed up diff looks like, I can take some photos for you.
