As psfred said, there is no syncromesh on the reverse gear in this transmission. If it's already sitting still in neutral, press the clutch and shift into any forward gear. They all have syncros, so any will do to stop the transmission input shaft from spinning. Then shift into reverse. Nothing is spinning, so no grinding. For more detailed information about how it works, search for "syncromesh".
