I'm starting to get some minor grinding in third and fourth with all this recent cold weather. It improves after heating up so wondering if I should swap to Redline fluid or if I should just take it to Ford.

Me. Pretty sure its expected. I'll be researching a fix when it comes time to change the fluid.

Did you try the XL-18 additive?
My GT did the same in its first winter anytime below the 60s or so, just til warmed up. Hasn't returned since even in 32-34 degree mornings. No problems on the Boss.

I'll read up on the additive. Thank you for that. In my last 2011 GT, I moved over to Redline and shifting greatly improved in all temps, but I'm not sure it's an approved tranny fluid by Ford.
Use Ford trans fluid with XL-18 additive, fixed mine, made all the difference in the world.
