Sounds like the synchro teeth on the gear might be going out. There are several things that cause grinding all of which should be fixed at the first change you get. The longer you wait the worse it will get.

Thanks,

the synchro max is the problem. It will not work with 98-00 t56. I know this because I used it with no prior tranny issues. Once it went in I started having problems like yours. I went back to regular atf after a month but the damage was done and I had to get a whole new transmission.
