Latley I can hear a grinding noise when shifting from near a dead stop to first gear, sometimes second too. It's not the actual shifting that makes the grinding noise, but accelerating in low speeds in 1st gear. It sounds exactally like an 18 wheeler in low gear only not as loud. It seems to only make this noise when the car has been run for a while. Transmission fluid is at normal level and I'm running the Mobil 1 ATF cocktail w 2oz Ford Friction Modifer. Brake fluid levels are normal too. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Any suggestions? Thanks!
