So.... I pulled the transmission and have taken it apart. It looks fine. There isn't a bad bearing on the output shaft like we had hoped and the spider gears in the LSD seem tight. The fluid we drained out of it has little pieces of what appears to be a hard bearing-type material and the drain plug had some larger pieces stuck to it. One of the pieces was even a skinny shaving that looked to be 1/4" long. I'm trying to get some pics of the gear stacks and other internals to show you guys, but I'm not sure how helpful pictures will be when it seems to look good. 
Not really sure where to go from here considering we have new hub bearings, new halfshafts, and the transmission doesn't seem to want to show me where the metal pieces came from. And with the new hubs and halfshafts we had the worst vibration ever when we tried to run at Topeka. So to sum it up, everything but the transmission internals are new, the same internals don't show bad wear anywhere, and the vibration is worse than ever.
Please help!
