The bumping noise sounds like a broken ring or pinion gear. I had a broken tooth on my ring gear that I wasn't aware of and the loose tooth was picked up in the gear oil and jammed between the ring and pinion. I sure heard a clunk, clunk, clunk after that as it took out a couple more teeth. Had to replace the ring and pinion.
