I am getting a little grinding when I try to go into reverse. I think my clutch needs some adjusting. I tried to find a good tutorial on Youtube but no luck or I didn't search correctly. If anyone on here has a link to a good video or a pictorial, please send it my way. I have a Hanes manual, but I find videos to be easier for me to understand.
Thanks!
How much free play is in the pedal? Should be no more than 1 inch. Does not sound like an adjustment. If you wait a few seconds after depressing the pedal to shift to reverse does it still make the grinding sound ?
Tighten the two nuts on the clutch cable a the transmission until excess free play is removed.
There is about an inch of free play and I don't remember ever having any free play in the past. It does make the sound even after waiting a few seconds with the clutch pedal depressed. I will take a look at the nuts on the clutch cable.
Long, cheesy video, but skip close to the end to see the adjustment

I was able to get it fixed. I just turned the 11mm nut inward towards the rear of the car about 1/4 inch and that did it. Shifting perfectly again.
Click in my sig below for my 31 pages of notes. I have instructions, work up, and diagrams to help with this.
