grinding reverse?

yo, i got my 99 cobra here. Im just so confused. Im completely motionless, clutch clearly all the way down, yet sometimes it either A) wont let me put it in reverse, or B) just grinds for no reason. i think the grinding occurs when my wheels are rollin just a little bit, but does anyone know wtf is going on?

You need to not roll when you are trying to put it in reverse!! Everyones tranny screams when you are rolling and try putting it in reverse.

Same exact thing happens to me man, except it happens when I'm not moving and it grinds about 1/2 the time I put my stang into reverse. I haven't tried the 5th and then reverse tactic yet so hopefully that'll help some. It gets kinda annoying though.

Yea i have that problem from time to time, reverse has no syncros. I usually put it in 1st then reverse. Never tried 5th, still works fine

For my 00 if it refuses to go in I put normal pressure on the shifter and slowly let out the clutch til i feel it 'drop' into gear. Had it 'Thunk' on me a couple of times if I was moving and tried to put it into gear that way. Just the way the tranny is built.

Funny you say that, i used to have that problem with one of my quads and i would do the same thing and it would go right into gear.
