When I start my car in the mornings I hear a grinding noise coming from the tranny but after I warm up the car it goes away, but what I'm worried about is that its so loud that you could hear it even if you're 20 feet away from it.

ITS MORE LIKE A SCHREECHING NOISE, Like when you burn tires and loud like it.

If its a screeching sound like tires, are you sure its your transmission and not your drive belts??

mazdarally94

yes, im sure its the transmission because it comes from the other drivers side. I can also hear it from the driver's side tire ( left side)

to me it also sounds like it might be the belts. check if they are a bit too tight.

Im sure its the tranny because I can hear it.

midnightblue97

If anything theywould be too loose.
Hmm........ I'm not sure what could be causing that noise. How cold is it where you are?? My car makes some pretty funky noises when it I start it up in the morning after its been like -20 -30.

mazdarally94

yea here in chicago its been lately like -20 -30 too.
and no Ive checked the belts and they dont make any noise.

There is a TSB that sounds similar to what you are describing in the Protege FAQ (upper right hand side), although it only states 90/91 models, perhaps it still applys..

auto or manual trans?

UCSBgeek

by the way, what is the other drivers side?

mazdarally94

oops. I meant the (ONLY)driver's side.
My car is auto.
