So I, unfortunately, have the grinding that is coming from the Transmission area that many have posted on.

I have more recently noticed that the crawler gear seems to be less torque in feel, then when I tried it out after purchase. Unfortunately it's hard to Guage but I believe it doesnt feel the same now as when I remembered when new.

I am wondering if the less torque feeling and Transmission grinding are related. Or to put it another way, Is something with the crawler gear broken and the reason for the grinding, not the entire Transmission or Flywheel as others are tracing?

Anyone with these grinding issues notice crawler gear feeling weird? Might be the culprit.

Something's not right - it sounds like a bearing is going out. Take it into your nearest dealership for warranty repair.

There are a good handful of threads on the grinding with out anything concrete. I am trying to diagnose/see if anyone else is having crawler gear concerns. Thanksbfor the reply.

Exactly the same noise I had. They replaced my transmission.

The tranny a Getrag unit. Was a bit worried about that since many, many Mustang owners has issues with the MT-82 Getrag unit in the 2015+ Mustangs.

I know this is a completely new tranny, but still was worried when they announced who made it.
