About 1k miles back I put a M50D in my 84 ranger along with a whole new clutch assembly. Since then, it's been working great, with one slight issue. Every now and then reverse will grind as I put it into gear. At first I just chalked it up to my inexperience with driving manual trannies but today I confirmed something is up. I was in the parking lot about to back up into a spot and I tried going in to reverse (clutch disengaged) and the reverse gear grinded some. I tried a 2nd time once I had parked and I was able to repeat it. I'm not sure what's up because both times I was sitting still and the clutch was disengaged. Now, I bet I can go a whole week or two before it happens again. Is the tranny or me that's messing up?
