I think metal debris in a differential is quite common. Don't worry about that just yet unless there are great big chunks missing on the cogs.
You could change the differential to the 2.88 but it will mess up your speedo reading and alter the transmission shift points slightly... I think your car originally had a 3.07
...but if what you say about the noise happening in park is correct then you're not going to have a solution to your problem.
Please confirm this.
