The grinding noise is most likely a wheel bearing
Your engine light is on because you have a fault somewhere in your fuel management system. Have a technician scan and diagnose it. It could be a quick fix!
For the transmission issue, have the mechanic who put the transmission in, take a look at the engine and trans. mounts. They may be worn out.

Sorry for the delay as our technician handling your question is not available at the moment.
The first diagram is the knuckle assy and the 2nd diagram is an exploded view of the knuckle showing where the wheel bearing is located inside the knuckle for the front wheels.
