65rfe grinding in reverse

[KB88]

Hey everyone, I have a ‘12 ram 1500 4.7 AT 4x4 and the trans is now making a grinding noise when I shift it into reverse. It makes the noise even when stopped, and gets louder when I back up. Only in reverse. Is the trans shot? It’s got 245k original miles, no mods. Also I’m trying to verify that only a 12-13 trans would work in my truck. Any experience or knowledge would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Sounds like 8 speed swap time to me

On the phone with MMX & Petty's Garage last month.......neither will do the swap anymore.
Kinda rough on us older guys with no lift to swap out the 6 for the 8...........

Does this grinding noise happen with it in reverse and the vehicle is NOT MOVING at ALL?
