your clutch is dragging then, reverse is the only gear with no syncro so if the transmission input gear is rolling away(clutch grabbing) then it won't go into gear. you could have a clutch hydraulic issue, worn clutch or throwout arm issues - the pivot for the throwout arm likes to snap off on FCs... could also be a less pronounced issue like pilot bearing failure grabbing the input shaft and keeping it turning, in any case the transmission needs to come out to diagnose the problem.

Is your clutch disengaging fully? Clutch to floor? Anything on the floor? A floor mat or anything in the way preventing the clutch from going down all the way?

Keep in mind that reverse on these cars does not have a syncro, so if the input shaft is turning and the car is sitting still, its going to grind when you try to engage reverse.


Karackakakaka ya beat me !
