I have something similar going on. When Im in drive and step on the brake I can hear a growl. I thought I might of had a broken crank, but the noise is coming and going. Tranny shifts perfect, no metal in either oils.
I have growling noise once hot, cold, it is quiet.
Shifts perfect, makes growl only when I suddenly release accelerator under acceleration, or when I shift from N to D or N to R. The worst growl is from N to R
