08 Wrangler jolts on acceleration/shifting between D and R

Oh I figured out what was going on. There was something wrong with my Aussie locker install causing extra backlash in the rear diff. It’s in the shop right now. Thanks for the help all.

Glad you found out what it was. My hero. :beer:

Alright I got it back from the shop. The guy said the washers that came with the Aussie locker were too thin so he had to swap them out with thicker ones. It drives a lot better but there is still a tiny thunk when I hit the pedal. Check out the video below and let me know if that is an acceptable amount of drive shaft play or if its too much? Or is this amount of play inherent to Aussie lockers? Maybe I am noticing the play more now that I went to bigger gears? Thanks.
