It could be that your clutch is not releasing all the way. The test for this is to put the car in neutral, press the clutch pedal in, wait 10 seconds and then put it into reverse. If the car grinds gears at this point, then your clutch is not releasing all the way and is "dragging". You might have to bleed the slave cylinder, or there might be something installed incorrectly with the clutch if this grinding happens.
