Wish I could help, but never had that problem. Maybe your transmission was abused and your synchronizers are goin'.

From the right wheel? You sure 'grinding' is the right word?

Your car is (or should be) under warranty. Take it to the dealer, see if you can duplicate it for them. If so, have them deal with it under warranty. If not. have them document that you brought it in with that complaint, so that there's a trail in the event "it" causes serious damage right after the warranty expires.
