    I have a brand new truck about 88k miles and when I put my truck in reverse or 1st gear and let it move in low rpms without accelerating I get a rumble/vibration in the transmission. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I have a 13 speed, clutch brake is good, gears go in easily, sometimes have to jam it in while switching gears but it doesn’t grind at all. My biggest concern is the rumble/vibration at low gear on low rpms.

    Are you sure it’s in Tranny?
    Not being there and witnessing I can’t say....
    But my gut says ck driveline real closely first
    Good luck

    It feels like the tranny but I will check my driveline today. Should I be looking for wobble on my driveline?

    When I hold the clutch in alittle and ride it it stops vibrating that’s why I think it’s tranny

    Has the throw out bearing been greased?

    Hold the clutch in a little? Do you have any free travel on the clutch pedal? If not, start with getting the clutch adjusted. It shouldn't be engaging by just barely touching the clutch. Or possibly grease your throw-out bearing. I'd do both if it was me.

    I adjusted the clutch about a week ago, I have roughly 1 inch and a half of free play on the clutch. I did grease a month ago from the remote grease by the engine but I’m not sure if it’s getting into the throw out bearing. Should I be able to see grease somewhere when I open up the inspection plate?

    Where you adjusted the clutch, up under the truck on the bottom side of the transmission anytime I greased a throw out bearing it was right up in there. You will see a grease cert up in that hole. Unless they have relocated those fittings since the last time I greased one. If there is a remote grease hub where you should be able to grease the throw out bearing at that hub or port, it could be something got kinked or cut where it connects to the throw out bearing.
     
    HP510 Thanks this.

    Sometimes it will rattle/slight vibration when it’s barely moving like idling moving. It would feel like a slight vibration though. My drivetrain specialist said, transmissions never vibrate.
