If your car is making a grinding sound when changing gear the problem depends on whether or not your car has an automatic transmission.
If your car has a manual transmission:
1. You may not be pressing the clutch down far enough when you change gears or there may be a problem with the clutch linkage.
2. The springs in the transmission separating the clutch plates may be weakening.
3. There may be another problem in the shifting mechanism.
If it does not go away if you press a little harder on the clutch, have a mechanic look at it.
If your car has an automatic transmission take it to the shop immediately and hope it does not break down on the way.

no a grinding problem is usually in side the trans and what is grinding are the gears...there are brass bushing called sincros that help transfer from gear to gear...since the "sincros" are brass they wear and when they wear there isn't the smooth transaction from gear to gear...sincros are really cheap but to have them installed gets pricey because of the labor time..
