You could also have worn bushings in the shifting rods, this can also cause grinding...my 4 speed grinds going into reverse every now and then..

If your transmission grinds going into reverse, one of three things is occuring:
1. The car is moving. You need to be totally stopped to shift into reverse.
2. You are shifting into reverse too quickly after disengaging the clutch. The shafts need time to spin down to a stop after being decoupled from the engine.
3. The clutch is not fully disengaging. You should be able to disengage the clutch, rev the engine to 2000 rpm, and shift into reverse with NO grinding or difficulty whatsoever.
Car at a stop, push in the clutch, count to 5, shift to reverse. There should be no grinding at all.
