Now, I was underneath the car and was checking play and the driveshaft will rotate a good quarter turn before I feel any resistance from the diff (engagement). As a result I think something is up with my diff, there is too much play and whenever the driveshaft applies torque there is play and clunks whenever there is engagement. I've read it could be remedied by shimming the diff input shaft, but I wanted to get some second opinions.
EDIT: I forgot to mention it begins to whine when putting lots of load, so like high throttle

Sounds like the ring and pinion are fucked up. Not something you can shim your way out of. You need to replace the diff or ring and pinion (recommend buying a used diff, but check the gears obviously)
