One more note, I did have the diff fluid changed at the dealer but this was happening before that.

For the love of God! How does one tell if the correct diff fluid was used. I have my invoice, would it be listed on there?

You might want to change your clutch fluid as well.

I'm a little unclear as to what the actual symptom is. Does the car lurch when you shift? Do you grind gears? Does the engine rev, but the car doesn't accellerate?

And what does any of this have to do with throttle response and grip? Is the car stalling when you shift? Are the tires losing traction?

If all else fails, it may be time to replace the nut behind the wheel.
