Do explain
Basically in GMs infinite quest for MPG and to keep costs down, the transmission has insane ratios and not enough synchronizers on each gear to allow for smooth shifts. 1 is extremely short to make the car feel quick off the line, but the transition to 2 is so drastic that the synchros can't keep up. So under a hard shift, cold fluid, or a varying degree of other factors it will grind.
