Default transmission grind or clutch ?

Whenever im going slow in 1st and 2nd gear, there is a noticeable grind . When im going faster in 2nd the other gears , i dont hear anything , just in 1st and 2nd. Also , sometimes it hard to get out of reverse when in gear.

Could the grinding be the transmission or clutch? Thanks

the grinding sound you are hearing is probably like a fast and constant knock. i would say it is a bad input cluster shaft bearing on the clutch housing. that is why you are only hearing it 1-2 gear and not hearing it so much in the other ratios. there is more stress on that bearing in 1-2 gear because those speed gears are closest to that bearing. the farther away from that bearing, which is 3-5 gear, the less you will hear it since the other end of the cluster shaft is supported by another bearing.
