It sound like metal pieces grinding, or loose inside the transmission housing. I was told that it might be the differential pinion wearing out, any advice on other possible casue?

Oh, I did experience rapid decelation a few times right when I slow down, sounds just like down-shifting.
Could also be the front u-joint in the driveshaft is sticky and forcing the tail of the transmission to move around.
