Hi there. The grinding sound may be coming from a rear output shaft. In most cases, the transmission yoke or output shaft will wear out over time, or when the inner seal has broken. The grinding is typically due to lack of lubrication inside the joint. It could also be caused by an internal transmission component. It is probably a good idea to have a professional mobile mechanic come to your location and complete a car is making a noise inspection, so they can test drive the vehicle and isolate the source of this grinding noise and recommend the right repairs.
