Performed the test today, but it is still grinding when engaging reverse :-(

Still, increasing the travel made quite a bit improvement but I'm definitely not out of the Woods yet.

So possible causes: pilot bearing, worn release fork, sticky clutch plate...... ?

I replaced about everything but still not solved the issue:
• gearbox overhaul
• New clutch
• New flywheel
• New pilot bearing
• Other used release fork

How can I check if it is the pilot bearing, even with the gearbox off the engine I never noticed anything wrong with it. The last engine drop was a 3.6 conversion in which I replaced flywheel including new pilot bearing and new clutch, the only thing old is the clutch fork and the clutch cable..
