Grinding happens when the disc is turning. Be sure to wait for the disc to spin down and then shift to reverse. If it does not fully spin down( as I suspect) your prob is in your clutch. The reverse sync. is synchronixed so it should handle some residual spin for a shift but grinding is indicative of more than residual spin. If you have an aftermarket shifter loose the stops as this kind of problem seems to stem from poorly adjsuted stops as well.
