I would like to add that on my 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII I experienced a more of a vibration sound and feel from the transmission during shifts that is best described as driving off the main highway lane onto the vibration pad in the emergency lane. This rumble or vibration is caused by a failure in the accumulator and piston spring setup in the transmission (usually a broken spring). There is a Ford service builetin on it and there are upgrade parts available and the repair is an easy home mechanic fix. But I fear if you hear grinding that you could have bands wearing out in tranny?... worst news is that these trannsmissions are not cheap to have worked on and installed by local shops and dealers ranging from transmission alone 1400-2k$ not including labor. But you can find the transmission for 600$ with waranty if the force is with u, And let me tell you there arn't that many jedi out there.

Answer

On my 93 mark 8, there is often a brief "chatter" before the transmission warms up during gear shifting. Once the Transmission Fluid is warmed up this stops. If you have excessive chatter, try changing the tranny fluid. There is a difference between grinding and chatter, one sounds like something slipping and gripping back and forth quickly, the other sounds like metal on metal.

Clutch chatter is a problem but not always a immediate bad one and I've heard of it being fixed by using the right transmission fluid or an additive.

Change the filter and the oil of the transmission.

Because your filter is dirty with too much dust to let the oil trough the filter.

And the oil could be dirty too.

I assume you are referring to a manual transmission. Grinding while changing gears is an indication of a synchronizer going bad. Until you get it fixed, try double clutching when shifting.
