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.

All true. Check you're adjustment first, then check that the clutch pedal travel limiter hasn't slipped down limiting the travel. My car needed the clutch release arm shimmed out due to the arm hitting the case. You have to pull the gearbox but it is an easy fix. Hope it isn't the clutch tube but I think that is not the norm. |
