Default Grinding noise?

I started my 95 auto this weekend after not starting it for a week.Now in first gear I hear a grinding noise coming from the rear.After it shifts out of first it goes away.Any ideas what this can be?

I recently have had a grinding type noise in the right rear of my 87 as well. It just seems to be during accelleration .

Does it grind everytime in first gear or was it a one time deal?
I only ask because there have been times where I had rust on teh rotors, and just the other day I did a dumbass move and installed a pad backwards, you want to talk about grinding, that sounded horrible!

Most manual trans cars get a clicking noise when you are first taking off and I only hear it in mine during first gear and it's only for a second.

Also if it's more of a buzzing, could be the ABS self test.

As for my clicking, changing hubs/bearings,brakes and U-Joints, I still get the noise.

How about a grrrr or rrrr sound that only last a second when you first start in first gear? Last year I changed the differential lube and added the two bottles of anti slip. That's when I started hearing the sound coming from the rearend. Someone told me to stop worrying about it and just drive.

if it only occures on key start when first taking off and not again it would be ABS self test, watch the DIC, ABS light will come on.

I was hoping it was normal. However, I haven't noticed any warning lights coming on. Thanks
