Re: Hard shift and a grinding going into reverse 200 82

/// Specific to your readjusting the cable. There are some cases of the cable being damaged by bad electrical grounds. The clutch cable carries current if the grounds fail. You would notice fraying or stiffness in the cable. This cable should not need readjustment after breakin.

The grinding while going into reverse means that the clutch is not being disengaged. If it is worn thin enough, or old enough, or has been severly over heated there may be clutch material broken off and stuck to adjoining clutch surface area. That would effectivly double the clutch plate thickness until the loose material wears out or falls out. Other things such as anti-chatter springs may break and fall into the clutch but my experience is that they jam the clutch.
