You are right about the clutch pack solenoids
They are normally open i.e. let the oil drain through
Once clutch packs start to wear; time to replace the whole lot
You may be able to salvage the intermediates (steel plates)
but if there's surface erosion of dark spots pitch them out too

And remember Always put friction modifiers in LSD's.
electronic or otherwise

P.S. Rumbles are usually bearing related
Thanks for the confirmation, thought I'd be up for a new one as the way they press the unis in
