Does it function differently when it warms up? Or does it grind no matter what?

If the car is low on tranny fluid (as it was in my friends GS-t) it will grind and start to drive rough. It is most likely his synchros but I would check the fluid first before pulling the tranny. My friend had to replace his tranny. It was not rebuildable when he finally decided to address the problem. Just my opinion though... I do not like pulling trannies.
