To answer your question, No I don't have any "grindings" in my transmission. It just feels crunchy going into gears. What I can describe is that I can feel I am moving a gear lever through something that is moving inside. Feels like dragging my stick through the gravels or something. It is not very obvious but it is kind of annoying. Moving the gear lever through the gate is quite sticky and heavy when the transmission is cold. It just make driving the car tiring and worrisome.
When cold (my cold means when I first drive the car after let it sit overnight as I live in hot climate morning temp is around 85 degree F) the problem will be worse as sometimes I can feel and even "hear" the crunch for the first few shifts but it will get better and better the longer I drive it. It gets best when I drive it really really hard like when I was running in the race track and that was when my transmission felt SWEET!!
How many miles did you have before changing the trans oil? Mine is currently at around 8,000 mile and still on factory fill.

Dragging a stick through gravel is actually a really good description.
About 35,000 miles on factory fill before I changed it out.
