Grinding Noise When Shifting into Gear

[Lake Chuck Duck]

If you arent hearing any noise while running I belive you have a good ways to go before a failure. However if that grinding is getting unbareable then I would start saving some bones and look at getting some quotes. Maybe cut your time between oil changes in half if you are seeing metal flakes. Particles like metal flakes can get into the gear mesh and cause even quicker gear wear.
