Default weird sound when in reverse

just recently i have a noticed a strange sound (sounds like a grinding noise) whenever i go reverse in my 03 gt. it only happens in the morning when i dont let my car warm up for a few minutes, and the sound only lasts for a few seconds and is then gone. my car has about 12500 miles on it and is all stock...anybody ever have this problem?

Yes, when it's below 30 degrees in the morning, my car will not shift into 2nd gear. Let you car warm up...

12,500 isn't bad for mileage at all. Depending on when he bought his car his is still under the average miles per year of 21,000+ miles...
