What year car? A lot of the newer models have a magnet in the fill/drain plug to capture stray bits of cog. Yes worth getting your transmission fluid changed according to maintenance schedules, but the odd bit of gear grinding shouldn't be terminal.

Just a quickie if you're draining and refilling gearbox oil - the very first thing to do is make sure you can undo the fill plug. If you were to drain it first and then find that you can't refill it you'll be a silly Billy.

do people still bleed gear oil? I know my car has an in and out hole for oil, I reckon it should be quite easy, just finding a flat place to do it. reason is I have been grinding the gears looking for reverse all winter, shifting is way better in summer and I am imagining loads of little metal filings floating around in my gear box.
