Replacing the filters won't do anything for this problem. A good candidate is the tripod bearing on the right inner driver. Look on the right side of the engine near where the exhaust pipe goes down under the car and you'll see the axel where it fits on the side of the transmission. Chances are the rubber boot is split and all the lube that should be inside is gone. If so the bearing is probably shot and is causing your problems.
You could also have transmission problems (bad pinion bearing). If so, the transmission will probably fail catastrophically in the immediate future.
Maybe other folks will have some suggestions too.
