when you take it apart check the outdrive for any type of fractures or any white discolorations of the plastic cracking or deforming this could be a fractured or broken diff half too.

3. Check the belt teeth make sure they are perfectly uniform (not too perfect but they all should be uniform)
4. check the pullies make sure there is nothing wedge in the coggs causing the belt to skip or make sure that the side walls of the pully is not portruding or pinching the belt.
5. belt tension is the key but i think your drive train is shifting around on you.
I had the front and rear diff shift around almost 1mm of play my center shaft has 1mm of paly right now i have sinced shimmed it all out.
hope this helps.
