Default grinding

Sometimes when I start my car and try to put it in reverse it is really hard and grinds real bad or I have to push real hard to get it in. Its only when I start it up and only until I get it in the first time. Any known causes? My clutch also sticks to the floor under high rpms but idk if that has to do with the first issue.

Both are signs that you need a new clutch...I am in the same boat.

The high rpm pedal sticking is a mc problem.. Do the drill mod.
Reverse grinds because the gear is spinning when you put it in reverse. Stop it from spinning by putting it in 4th or 5th first, then reverse. Seee if that helps

It's either a defective clutch, faulty hydraulics, or both. Bleed/flush the hydraulics to verify that they are working properly and check back with us.
