[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 432715, member: 18629"] That's almost normal because the reverse gear doesn't have sychros to align the gears before they mesh. The problem is the gears are spinning when you're trying to mesh them together and that's when they grind. Two points, I always go into second gear first prior to reverse to stop the gear rotation. Just my preference which goes back to the 70's when I had an MG and first gear didn't have a synchro. Also you may try bleeding the clutch one more time to ensure it's not dragging If the Jeep doesn't move in first gear during the first inch or so of pedal release then your probably ok. I also found that this happens more on cold days than when warm. Maybe time for an oil change in the transmission? [/QUOTE]
