Consider temporarily removing the chrome shift gate. Then see if you can get reverse. The console get very warm on many cars and the plate may be expanding enough to block adequate rotation of the shift rod to the left for reverse.
Should that be the cause, the question to consider is why is that now a problem when it wasn't before. Likely, slop has developed somewhere in the shift linkage. Shouldn't be hard to find it.

Hi jt,

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try this early on in my investigations, and even with the gate removed the same problem occurs.

If it is grinding then it has enough rotation but the gears are not stopping when the clutch is released. The likely reason is that there is not enough free travel in the clutch and it needs to be adjusted to a lesser gap at the slave cylinder stop.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will give this a go. Many thanks.
