from stand still... try going to 2nd (first) - then from 2nd go to 1st & see if it still grinds... Sounds kinda dumb, but my old car used to grind when going directly into 1st, but never when going from 2nd to 1st.

I'm guessing the synchros are going bad, but I am not sure. Is there anything I can do on my own? Thanks for the support.
