Weird, the only time I've seen that was with a welded center diff or broken one, something is binding in the trans or rear... This is a question for Jerry.

I don't see a video but it may be cause I'm viewing from my phone.
Is the tranny, t-case and rear the ones that came with the car from the factory?

That acting like the center diff or the rear diff has been welded. Or worse something is binding them up. Id start by pulling the rear diff off and looking there upload some pics, then if there isnt anything wrong drop the trans and pull it apart and go from there. Who did you buy the swap from?

Is this swap from the auto car that Jerry parted out? If so please tell me this car is auto.... If not then yea you obviously have a problem. You need to change the ring and pinion in the rear diff.

I live in Palm Harbor by Alderman rd and US19, I will pm you my number,hit me up.
