Mine only does it on high RPM shifts. Mine sometimes feels like the selector gets past the syncro but doesn't engage on the teeth for second gear as it will go in about half way and make this real nasty high pitched BBBBzzzzzzzzzzzz noise. Not a grind, but not good none the less.
I haven't had it lock me out of a gear like you mentioned but have had to shift to second at a light to be able to get it into first. I guess it doesn't matter now that a new tranny is scheduled but if it locks you out, can you put it in neutral, let the pedal out, push the pedal back in and then select first?
