Re: clutch/transmission probs?
For the reverse problem, after stopping, try putting it into high gear, then
into reverse. If I do that the 5 spd on my 84 Celica doesn't grind when
going into reverse.
Is your clutch slipping at all?

Re: clutch/transmission probs?
Your clutch is not re-leaseing. Is it a hydraulic clutch? If so you may
have a leak/air in the line. Make sure it's full of fluid and then bleed
the air out. You may need a new slave cylinder. If its mechanical, then it
needs adjusted - make the push rod longer.

Re: clutch/transmission probs?
How is the fluid in it? Do you have the right fluid in it?
If it is low, it can be bitchy to shift into 1st and rev.
Same if you have gotten water in it. That will make it bitchy too. The
Jeep transmissions don't have a high water vent, just a stupid button
vent so it is possible to get water in them.
Reverse always grinds a bit anyway if you don't put it into a forward
gear first. Use 3rd or something first to settle down the tranny, then
hit reverse.
