The car should be *completely* stationary. Engaging reverse is very different than the forward gears. When you engage reverse you are cramming one gear in between two others: making the "tunk" sound you mention, which is normal. The forward gears have a "synchro", which helps "synchronize" gears moving at different speeds so they can engage without grinding.

Clutch or no clutch even in neutral, with the rear wheels spinning (even slightly), one of the two gears you are cramming the reverse gear in between is moving. When a stationary gear tries to engage a moving one, it'll make a "grinding" (the grazing?) sound.

Try shifting with the car totally stopped. A slight "tunk" sound is also normal when shifting in/out of reverse.

Hope it helps,
-Ryan
