Need Clutch?

Need Clutch?
To be honest, I have never kept a manual tranny car long enough to have to replace a clutch, and I just picked up my 00 GT with 43K miles on it, and I'm trying to figure out if I need to replace the clutch (will be soon enough anyways, but checking if I need to right now). The tranny runs fine, but seems to grind almost everytime when I put it into reverse, and wants to pop out of gear. Other than that it operates fine. Is that something that is common with reverse, or do I need a new clutch. Will a short throw new shifter fix the problem as well?

there's no synchronizer for reverse and yes, its a common problem. try putting it into 1st or 5th before reverse i find that it slides in easier

Reverse gear synchroniser, When I got my 01 with 29k the first thing i had to do was replace 5th gear synchro, luckly i caught it before the ***** *** 3 month, 3k mile warrently was up, The replaced the synchro and threw in a new clutch for free!
