IIRC when reverse grinds, it is probably caused by the clutch cable, right?
Stretching a bit or the nuts loosened up? And of course the dreaded tube.... but lets not go there yet. Have I remembered correctly? |

Grinding in reverse happens because either the car is still rolling or the mainshaft is still turning. Mainshaft turning could be due to several things including bad clutch adjustment for one mentioned reasons, a warped clutch disc, pilot bearing seizing or not waiting for thin gear oil to slow the mainshaft before trying to engage reverse.
