 I have a newly rebuilt engine so I didn't replace the pilot bearing when I
 did the trans replacement. I assumed it was Ok. And I was also pretty broke
 so I didn't replace the clutch or pressure plate. But like I said the
forward
 gears work fine.

 Finally, I didn't adjust the clutch. But if it were a clutch adjustment
 problem, wouldn't it grind into forward gears as well? >>

adjust your clutch, and kiss this grind goo-bahee.
