For those that have one, how's your reverse?

Mine loves to grind when putting it in gear[&:]

No, it's not that.
I knew that about my T5.
It never ground when trying to put it in gear, just wouldnt go into gear so easy.
This grinds when the clutch is to the floor and trying to stick it in gear.

Edit: Just reverse though.

I have my clutch adjusted to about half pedal for full engagement.

the real reason it grinds is because there are no synchro's in reverse and if u put it in first before putting it in reverse it wont do it

usually to shift into reverse i go 2nd, 5th, reverse
but do you have trouble downshifting into 1st, i usually cant get it to go unless im going slow like 20mph, or is that a safety precaution?

has anyone tried to double clutch it before putting it into reverse?
