Tranny mounts, CV joints, centre bearing...

Probably just diff backlash which is not common but certain to happen in all commodores at some stage lol. Nothing to worry about man but i know it still dont sound good and your looking at diff reco or new diff to get rid of it.

Definitely look at the tail shaft before the diff.
