2001 Mustang gt with automatic transmission displays an extended-hard-grinding shift from 1st gear to 2nd gear especially after making a right turn. Also when cruising at normal highway speeds the transmission makes a hesitant clanking noise which jerks the car slighlty if one's foot is taken off the gas pedal for a few seconds and then clank again when speed is resumed when depressing the gas pedal. This problem began soon after purchase of the new car and still exits now with 48,000 miles on it. * cb.
