Just got a new transmission put in in October now the front differential is going out just wanting to know if that will be covered in my warranty?

Hi, Leslie,
The front differential and transmission are two different components. So, if you are referring to a warranty on the transmission, I would have to say it is unlikely.
What is happening that leads you to believe the differential is bad? There aren't too many miles on the vehicle and they rarely fail. Have you checked the fluid level?
Here is a link showing how it is checked:

Let me know.
