The teeth on the either spyder gear might be gone. Just look for chucks of metal @ the bottom of the housing.
Either fix it or time to buy a 12 Bolt if you got the dough.

Time to get a new carrier! It's not that hard to replace though. Same thing happened to mine. Just make sure the ring and pinion are ok, then all you have to do is swap out the carrier and check for proper backlash.
