First off, your Clutch is not grinding, it is the gears in the transmission but I find if I try to shift down at higher rpms without racing up the engine, I may get a little grinding.
The same things goes for up-shifting, if the engine rpms aren't up, around 3000 rpms, then the trans sometimes grinds, not always.
I thought it was just me and my truck but it might be Rangers in general.
Try bringing the rpm up some when shifting up or down.
I was NOT even going to say that it was MY driving because I could hear all the jokes or woman driver remarks only in an unobvious, obvious way. BUT I did slow my roll today while driving and it did make a big difference I can only remember one time where I grinded. So that is a good thing.
