'Grinding noise', huh?  I'd stop right there and not play it anymore until
fixed - I would be afraid of some real damage if there is a grinding noise
going on.  Perhaps you are in a small town, or rural, so do not have many
repair options.  But if I were you, I would start planning a trip to a good
shop with a good rep.  If you tell us where you live, you will probably get
some references to a good shop within a couple hours drive.
