M47 Reverse gear doesn't sync 200 1989

1st thru 5th are engaged to the cluster gear all the time. When you shift, you lock the gear to the main shaft via synchros. Reverse is a seperate gear that slides into a mating gear on the cluster to engage. If you throw in the clutch and shift quickly from neutral to reverse, it WILL grind. If you pause a few seconds and wait for the cluster gear to stop spinning, it should not grind, but may be notchy occasionally, as the gears don't allways mesh easily. If a 5 second delay in shifting to reverse from neutral produces a smooth engagement, everything is normal.
