What could be causing this?
Car has 260,000 miles on the odometer.

Basically a neglected transmission can gain deposits that hold something together, new trans fluid is very acidic and can eat away at these deposits causing issues to show up.
Or that's the theory at least, it's also totally possible your just noticing a slight grinding more than before.

I have an old worn transmission and it grinds real bad when using the correct spec oil.
Got to put in some thicker shit to get it to work right.
