Common with the T-3650. There is a design flaw in the trans that gives it a notchy shift into 2nd and 3rd which sometimes grinds. It's less common on '03's as it's more an 01-02 problem.

TSB 04-15-6

However, prior to rebuilding your trans, i would change the fluid first and try an adjustable clutch quadrant
