09 6Spd Transmission issue

Ghost

The car has about 9000+ miles. Bone stock. It has never been abused, no burn outs, racing, launch, never has been drag raced. It has been a real treat to drive the car around town, it had been very reliable up until few days.

While backing out of my driveway, I noticed it made a really strange grinding sound. I didn't pay much attention. Then I took it to the dealer today for some service and I asked the tech to check out the sound from reverse gear, he didn't like it. While the tech was pulling it in, he heard abnormal sound from 1st gear/low speed as well. I hadn't even noticed the 1st gear sound. I asked them to inspect it and got out of there.

Dealer called couple hours ago. There is an issue with the transmission. It's being replaced under warranty. New one has been ordered already and will be here by the weekend.

I am not too concerned, I just thought I'd share this experience.
