You could end up cracking the tranny case. breaking your axles, your clutch and your flywheel and possibly screwing up your crank.

Yeah, I would take it to a shop. Or at least stop driving it.

The more you drive it, the better chance you have at replacing more broken parts.

If you hear something inside the tranny case, leave the car alone!!! It's probably not your differential though.. I just have a feeling..

Even w/ a crazy N/A set-up, I've had a MEAN history of stripping the splines on the tips of the axles where they go into the diff. I'd definatly consider that, then consider the clutch before considering the diff.
