When the transmission was rebuilt, were new gears mixed with older gears? When I rebuilt mine a few years ago, there was an issue with the teeth on the new gears not being shaped correctly in some instances. Since the shape was not correct, the different shaped gears would not mesh correctly with each other and would grind. I don't know if that is still an issue, or if it really was back then. My gears seem to mesh correctly without grinding.
