my 02Gt has 41000 on it and from 1st to 2nd it grinds. the transmission makes all kinds of noise. i took it in before warranty was up and they told me that it is sub-pose to make that noise. they said when it is broke in it sounds like that. then i found this on another website and now i am worried. if so, the car is gone if ford doesn't fix it.
