Default 1st gear and 2nd gear grind? Bad tranny?

So my 5spd 95 Civic EX (coupe) has a grind like noise when i hit about 2800-3300RPMs on 1st and 2nd gear. You could kind of hear it on 3rd gear but its really noticeable on 1st and 2nd.

Sometimes in the cold morning or when I just barely started the car and start running it (without warming it up), the "grind" wont be there.
But most of the time you can hear it. However, I dont hear a grind when switching gears. Only happens from about 2800 RPMS to 3300 RPMs. Sometimes it varries.


Bad tranny?
