Hey yall, for reference, I drive a 1990 Chevy K5 Blazer with a 6.2 Detroit Diesel (w/h a turbo) on it



I had a new (built) 700r4 Transmission installed on it a few days ago, and one thing I've noticed is that it rumbles a bit loud when idling and even louder when in gear (reverse, drive, etc)



(This is the 700r4 currently installed on it: https://gearstar.com/gm-700r4-performance-transmission-level-3 )



What could it be? I've driven it around local roads and on the freeway and it shifts properly (1st to 2nd has a very slight kick to it since it is built) but I don't know why it rumbles as so, any input would be highly appreciated

How do you know the "rumbling" is coming from the transmission?

Also, what did Gearstar say when you contacted them?
