Grinding noise from clutch, Reverse problems Options

[acenova]

What up all. Weird noises from my celica. Everytime I try to put this badboy in reverse today, the damn clutch just made that awful grinding noise. As if something was spinning and I was trying to stop it by putting a pole in the middle. But seriously, I put my car in reverse and for one, it was hard, I actually had to push it in harder than I should and do it quick. It doesn't do it for first-fifth, so what's going on? ANy takers? Also, it's getting a little harder to put my car in first gear and second gear and actually, any gear. This could just be my imagination, but it just seems that way. Anyone have this problem or know what's going on?

it could be the synchros like they sare saying, but if im not completely stopped when i try and put my car in reverse it grinds. so try it at a complete stop, and if its hard to get it, then put it into 3rd and then over into reverse. there is a shift lock from 5th to reverse so if ur cruisin at like 80 mph u dont bump it into reverse
