Maybe it's a sign that the oil has to be changed once again. Do you have an idea of the mileage between the disappearing and reappearing of the grind?

Edit: ~2000 miles...

Also you might want to look into some shifter base bushings/underhood bushings. They are pretty cheap and could prolong the life of your tranny.
Funny thing you say that, as I was driving around last night I thought about getting some underhood bushings and such. Ill IM you about that though!
