I get a good grinding if I attempt to shift into 1st at anything faster than a crawl. I often get a little grinding when putting it into reverse as well.
very likely cable related. if the condition has been progressive and is characterized by grinding primarily going into 1st and reverse, these are classic symptoms of a clutch simply out of adjustment. depending upon model year, the adjustment procedure varies just a little, but basically involves tightening the cable on the tranny end (unless all of the rear adjustment is taken up, in that case it might be possible at the front attachment). normally a couple turns o fthe adjustment screw is all it takes..little adjustments make big changes generally..it may take a couple of attempts to get it 'just right', but is basically a cost-free repair. good luck.
