What do you mean by a "grazing sound"? The car needs to be completely stopped when changing into reverse as there is no synchro on it. If you have a hard time getting into reverse, breifly pop her into 2nd gear and then into reverse. Should be smooth as silk.

As for the first and second gear shifting problem, you probably need to adjust the reverse detent (lock-out) plate. From inside the car, under the shifter boot, you'll see it. Two 8mm(?) hex-head screws to loosen, move it towards the driver's seat a little, tighten it up, and you should be back in business.

I guess an easier diagnostic for the above problem is to see if it's easier to shift into 1st and 2nd when you lift the reverse lock out ring. If easier, adjust the detent plate.

Hope it helps!
