5 speed transmission, shifts into R with no problems when car is turned off. Witht the vehicle runing, it will grind/be hard to get into gear 90% of the time when put into R. I replaced the clutch master cylinder about 1 year ago. Synchros?

reverse is not synchro...i think. try going into another gear and then reverse.

Clutch is not releasing properly. It could be the slave but it can also be a problem with clutch itself. I had similar problems with a Honda when one of the damping springs fell out of the disk.

Thanks for the replies. If I shift it into first, and then quickly shift into reverse, there is no grinding. I don't know if that helps to further diagnose anything. I called a mechanic buddy and he thought it was the slave as well. Thanks again!

i just replaced my slave and master, and put mobil 1 gear oil in....

my clutch feels new (109k still on factory clutch) and i no longer grind on ANYTHING.

i use to have a random grind going 2nd to 3rd, and trying to slap into reverse too fast...
