I suspect that you have checked such things, but just in case -- Is the clutch
releasing all the way? May be dragging, but with synchros in the forward
gears, it may go in ok, but with no synchros in reverse it is a problem. Also,
could be the pilot bearing dragging, keeping the tranny spinning just enough to
be a problem. Nothing in the tranny should be spinning if the clutch system is
working right.
I went to a hydraulic release bearing this year, but forgot to tighten the
bleeder all the way. The first symptom that I had a problem was difficulting
getting it in reverse. Bleed the system and tightened the bleeder and all was
good. Joe(B)

I have a peculiar problem with my transmission and maybe somebody can give
me some ideas on what to investigate. It's a standard transmission, close
ratio gears.
The problem is that it shifts well, it goes into all gears well, but when I
try to put it into reverse while standing still, it doesn't want to engage
and the gears grind a lot.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
