Transmission growling

so i have a new issue , the transmission is growling in drive mode and manual mode, that said it only does it at 10 MPH that i can hear. In manual mode from a dead stop it is very noticeable. The truck drivers fine all shifts are normal. your input would be very helpful.
note: all past tbs have been completed years ago .
Thanks

I'm not sure of the fix, but my advice would be to park it immediately, and trailer it to the shop. These transmissions are far too expensive to chance making it worse.

Okay good. You were maintaining the additive package in the fluid. Some of these trans have issues with solenoids. Any codes? You try a code reader?
