Default I blew my diff. again??? 2nd time in 1 month.....

So I had my car back for about 2 weeks since my differential was changed for a new unit. Today while driving, I stop on a stop sign, rev the car to about 3.5k and let the clutch go, then I heard loud noise which kinda reminds me of gears grinding but its very very loud.
After that my car didnt want to move anymore, I can put the gears in but if try to move its making the same loud noise...its diffrent then the noise I had when I blew the diffrencial before, even when the car was in neutral, and we pushed it to a free parking space there was a ticking noise coming from back of a car(while it was moving).
Anybody knows what broke this time?
THX,
Brad...

How many miles were on your car when your first differential went bad?

Isn't the repair work warrantied?

By the way, I think you're lucky to have an '00 New Formula Red. That is one classic car.

I have 44,000 miles on my car, and have done many many many many 7k rpm clutch dumps and my differential is still going strong.
