01 Mustang GT, 100k+ miles

Lately a problem has reared its head when driving and changing gears.
I hear a sort of gear grind when I happen to shift from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and sometimes 3rd to 4th. I also hear some residual noise when I am sitting at idle with the clutch pedal pressed.

I'm no expert, but I think it probably has to do something with the gears. I have the original stock gears. Is it time to change it out? And if so, I might as well upgrade them. I drive about 40 miles a day in city conditions. Help, as always, is appreciated.

I assume you are not talking about syncho's grinding at the tranny? If so, your tranny could be a ticking time bomb...First it's a grind here and there, then it's no 2nd, 3rd, and/or 4th gear....If so, it happened in my 96 gt - put a TKO in, and just happened in my Cobra, put another TKO in...

May first question would be did you check the fluid level?

Yeah, I'll need to check the fluid level.

Fluid level is fine.

The sound is kinda like a gear grind, but not really. It might be more like a rattle. Any ideas?
