So for the last week or so my transmission has been making a grinding sound when in first gear or reverse.
it only makes noise when i am below 10 mph. along with the noise there is a "jolting" motion that the truck makes when it goes from 0 to 10mph. as of now...i can put it in second gear and get over 15mph and then shift into drive and it makes no sound....or jolts. What is my problem?? i have been told that it may be my flywheel needs to be replaced. Thank you!

on the rear drive shaft there is a joint in the front of it and the rear of it. look for signs of rusty dust. if you wee rusty dust you need to replace your u joints
