Default 88 5.0 new tranny and clutch, grinding

I bought my 1988 5.0 gt about 2 years back and it was my project car, i replaced the hole drive train, put in new t-5 tranny, new clutch, drive shaft, axles. then i ran out of money. im getting back into it now and im wondering why the transmission still grinds going into reverse. it only does it going into reverse, it grinds everytime, and sometimes it will not go in. any advice? do i need to just get a simple clutch adjustment? if there is suck a thing? thanks

Always put the car in first gear first and keep your clutch engaged before tryig to put it in reverse, i also have a T-5 tranny and hurst shifter and it tricky getting into reverse just take it slow
