Was it grinding at a dead stop or was it just hard to get it to click into reverse?
If it was grinding and you had already put the shifter in a forward gear prior to shifting into reverse, then I'd suspect that the transmission has a bad pilot bearing or the clutch isn't disengaging entirely.
If it wasn't grinding, then the teeth on the reverse gears are chipped and blunted by years of not having been put into a forward gear prior to being shifted into reverse - like my poor, old '89 SPG was before I got it. I usually just let it roll an inch or so and it goes
It might also be a shifter misadjustment or a deteriorating shift shaft alignment bushing (at the front of the shifter assembly - when it's bad the shift shaft goes side-to-side instead of rotating. If it goes into the other gears without a problem, this isn't the problem.)
