hhhmmmmm.

Possibly Bearing is giving way and not allowing reverse gear to engage properly?

Huh.  After replacing the entire clutch assembly and having the engine
rebuilt (all within the past three months) I didn't think I'd have
anything to worry about for a while.

So I noticed twice today that I was getting some pretty serious
chattering/stuttering when I tried to drive in reverse.  No problems
moving forward in any gear.  Ideas?  Should I provide more clues?
