Rattling noise at low RPM may or may not be normal. By itself I would say nothing wrong. Factory gear lube is super thick in an effort to keep it quiet.

If the transmission was under-filled That would make shifting more notchy and picky, especially after it gets hot.

I'm not an expert with dealer service interaction and I'm suspicious of other peoples' work. That said, If you have any intention of following up with a warranty claim, do... not... touch... anything.

The TOB was replaced 700 miles ago. I'll check the the fluids tomorrow before I take it to the dealer.

Good plan.

Keep us posted.

Do you know how, and have the tools to do that? It's not trivial.

No, but I'll watch a video on youtube or something. I have nothing to do today anyways

I think he was talking about checking the transmission oil level.

What's difficult about that ... ??

You have to stick your finger in it.

It's probably just me, but I find putting this car up on jack stands to be a pain in the ass. When I installed the exhaust recently, I had to jack the front up enough to get the stands under the hard points at their lowest level, then jack the back up, then jack the front up again to get the car raised where I could fit my fat ass up under it. I have some transmission work in my near future, and I'm honestly not looking forward to it at all. This time I'm getting my 12 ton stands I usually use for the Jeeps out of the warehouse and raising that SOB up high.

Of course it's covered under warranty. I had my transmission replaced after about 1000 miles because of a bad fifth gear syncro. 108,000 miles later it's still good.

Well, you certainly do it the hard way .......

The humfrz way is quite easy.

Simply drive the car up to the local good ol boys auto shop, give them the key and ask them to check the transmission oil level, have a cup of coffee, before you finish the coffee ..... they have checked the oil level. No charge, since I'm a regular. See how easy that is ......

You know where that finger has been?

Well, it's their pinky finger, which I doubt was "there"......

Besides, my transmission don't care ......

DAMN! ......it's a good thing I quit drinken ...... if not, a large glass of vodka with a splash of bloody Mary mix would be in order ........ the music of the Wiggles, with all three granddaughters singing along, is about to drive me nuts ......

I suggest you look up "the shocker." Or better yet, don't.
