Default t56 problems

I have a 2000 formula 6spd. Im having some troubles with getting the car into reverse, let me re word that it feels like it goes into reverse fine but grinds when I start to let the pedal out. I just replaced the clutch with a ram hdx kit and a gm slave cylinder. Also had the flywheel resurfaced and new pilot bearing I was hoping that would fix the issue. I was sure to bleed the master cylinder out real good pedal pressure feels great just no reverse. PLEASE help im sick of making sure I can pull straight out of a parking spot or having to push my damn car back lol. Thanks guys

It,s not getting fully into reverse. It could be a combo of: bent fork, broken/ missing pads, worn clutching teeth on the slider and/ or gear. You will need a teardown to fix this.
BTW, its unlikely your clutch probs had anything to do with this and thats also why addressing that did not fix this.

You're going to have to take the tailbone off and take a look. I'd check everything callhoon said maybe even syncro and blocker rings just to cover all the bases
