New Clutch, Reverse Grinds
Thanks for everybody who has been involved in my clutch project this weekend. Just one lingering issue: Putting the transmission in reverse grinds like a son-of-a-bitch. Doesn't matter how long I hold the clutch pedal down before shifting, but SOMETIMES, not always, if i rev the engine before shifting, it goes in smoothly. I don't want to grind it too much, because...well....that's bad. So, please give me some thoughts.

If it's only one gear, it doesn't seem like a clutch problem. You didn't retension any of the other bolts on the tranny did you?

Anytime I had grinding in reverse issues, it is due to the gears spinning a little, and then your just jamming it into reverse. Try putting the car in 4th gear, and then going into reverse. Just a thought.

I didn't touch a damn thing on the tranny, and I bled the clutch like you wouldn't believe (Motive Power Bleeder) since I installed a new line. I'll try the 4th gear thing tonight, but that's going to be annoying when parallel parking, if that's my solution...

Check this thread:

as that's why I asked about any other bolts on the tranny. You might just need to drive it a little bit to get it broken in. Mine was a little rough for the first few hundred miles or so (not grinding or anything though).

Wow, no, that's not my problem....but definitely a good read. I'm thinking synchro right now, since it grinds as i'm going INTO gear, but is fine once i'm in gear. Also the occasional non-grinding shift when revving tells me something too.... but maybe it all just needs to be broken in, what do I know.
Aren't the 5th & Reverse synchro the same? 5th is fine...
