Any Diagnosis Yet?

I seem to be having the same rear grind problem. I still have all my gears and it is only occassionally having the forward motion problem that you have had. I'm just curious because maybe I can 'help' mine before its too late.

i remember reading on here (dont know if it was a proven fact, but i bet somebody knows) that there is no syncro for reverse i know mine would grind if i was moving even the slightest little bit, so i would use one foot on the clutch other on the brake when going into reverse, and it never grinded
