Brief grinding noise when shifting HARD.
The trans shifts great all the time, except when shifting HARD and I mean tearing it into second 
. I have a pro 5.0 shifter, so I know I am not going to break that, but I know that does not mean the trans is indestructible. The trans makes a brief grinding sound when shifting really hard into second. It does not kick back or anything, it goes right in, but just makes a very brief grinding sound. It has always done this, but I was wondering if this is an indication of a problem in the future. I can still shift quickly into second with out going crazy on it, so maybe I should take it a little easier 
. It's just so much fun to rip through the gears with the pro 5.0!

I get a similar noise when shifting fast. Here is a video. You can vaguely hear of a bit of crunch noise as I go into 3rd.
Sometimes I get the noise you are talking about at the track. In the vid I granny shift second since she is wearing snow tires.

Thanks for the tip MJ46. If the trans ever comes out I will change those parts. In the meantime I don't bother to shift like that. The car runs pretty much the same et speed shifting (basically as fast as I can, like the 2-3 in the vid) or a quick shift. I'm pretty confident the trans will last the life of the car with just quick shifting and normal driving.
