It will shift into every gear when it's not running. When it is running it will shift into every gear except reverse, it grinds. I put the pin in the shifter locking it in neutral and adjusted all the shift rods. I also loosened the cover and shifted into reverse and tightened it back up. It still grinds. Any ideas?

The action of selecting First stops the rotation of the reverse gear. If this does not slow it down to get it into reverse, clutch... If your have to be really quick, after doing this, to get into reverse or it starts grinding again, clutch...
