RE: tranny problem
Not only is it possible it is likely. I have never seen a transmission grind going from 1st to 2nd (unless its a manual trans). I have seen many t/case failures that made all sorts of noises as the trans loads/unloads accelerating. If you do have a manual, it could be lots of things and should be checked by the dealer.

Had a very similar problem on 99 Ram, turns out when the tranny was disassembled that the front band was worn out (metal to metal) and scored the direct drum. Caused loss of second also when band was nearlt destroyed. you can see the front band and direct drum when the tranny pan cover is removed. Good Luck.

RE: tranny problem
My tranny started slipping and stuttering in first trying to get to 2nd and 5 miles down the road i completely lost 1st gear... Blew out cylanoids in the main tranny, dont know what happened in the Transfer Case because it was all under warranty and i kept my hands clean.. [:@]
