Default Weird Tranny noise

Hello fellow Jeep people!

Have a small issue with my 2014 4 door Sport. I noticed the last couple weeks when I shift from Drive to Reverse(or other way around) it makes a noise, kinda like a noisy door hinge, not loud but noticeable and goes away after it engages into gear. It only makes that noise after it warms up. also when I drive from a dead stop then fades with the road noise.

I am running 35 inch tires with 3.21 gears. I dont have a clue on tranny noises or issues. Jeep only has 12K, Ive been running with these tires for over 3k miles, Think I'm putting to much strain on the Tranny?

Any info would be helpful

Those tires won't bother that transmission. I don't know about the noise. The A580 has a bit of a whine sound in low gear but most transmissions do.

Ya I figured it would be fine. This is my first 4x4 with a automatic, easier on my knee. Ya i noticed most trannys do wine in low gear. If it gets bad i guess ill put on my soccer mon tires and head to the dealership. Thanks for the info!
