Angry grinding in reverse

Hi there, i'm new to the forums, and an old Toyota fan who just moved over to my very first Nissan. Its a 95 240sx se, and i'm currently trying to get it to run smoothly (it sat for a year)

Replaced fluids, new brake pads, new batt, and the tires were still good. The problem i'm having is that when I try to put it into reverse, there is a bad grinding problem. the previous owner stated that he put a new clutch in before he left for Portugal, and i'm thinking its that, and hoping its not the synchros. any ideas?

Z

Could be the Fluid in the Tranny. Make sure you fill it with GL-4 Type fluid. My Personal favorite is 1 qt. BG Synchromesh for cold trans. problems, 1 qt. Motul for hot trans. problems, and Top off with Redline MTL. Smooth as Butter.

Change fluid to Redline MT-90 fluid. It works great.
