I would have to park the car if its grinding because i just dont have the time to fix, and also have a daily driver, so i would rather not risk further damage.. Plus i dont think ford intended mustang owner's to have to "use another gear before putting it into reverse."...

They probably didn't intend for it, but the way the transmissions are made causes that. Since I had my old GT I have done it in every car. If it is your DD then why can you park it? That is pretty much the same as breaking something and having to park it.

4th then reverse is the key to mine...never grinds...sometimes it wont go into reverse like its hitting a wall, when that happens i let the clutch out then press it again and try again and it works
