Default 2nd gear problem

I have searched the board for a similar problem, but most seem to be problems engaging second gear. ie-the 1-2 shift. Mine is not this problem.
Essentially, I have no problems switching gears, but while in 2nd gear, it makes a constant "grinding" noise. When I switch to 3rd gear, no noise. 1st gear, no noise, but second gear has a constant rubbing noise during acceleration. Almost like the 2nd gear spring is out of place and rubbing up against something. (sorry, transmission illiterate)
Any ideas what this might be?

Your responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

check your transmission fluid level, change it out if its old, have a sample of the oil analyzed. is still under warranty? have a mechanic listen to it. good luck
