All of my gears work just fine but my reverse gear grinds slightly when pulling it into gear. Even if I hold the clutch for a period of time it will still grind just a little bit. It never grinds into any of the other gears which makes it sorta weird that it grinds into reverse.

Because it is not syncronized like the forward gears, assuming you have a standard trans.

It could be a clutch adjustment or a bad clutch

Thanks and I have figured that if I put into a forward gear and then pull into reverse without releasing the clutch it wont grind. Maybe its just coincidence.
