The gear box crunches when I put reverse on. it doesn't do it all the time mind. It never happens when cold, but if I run for a few miles, it crunches when I put the car into reverse :shock:. The longuer I drive, the heavier the noise. Any ideas?

It happens mate. Don't worry about it.
ditto, mine does this... funnily enough though shortly after doing it in reverse 3rd is now notchy... may be the diff housing on it's way

just wear on the box....i never go from forward gears straight into reverse...always release the clutch - helps prolong the box a bit more.
Pinky is crunching when downchanging from 3rd to 2nd
new box time me thinks
iv just ad a new gear box n its dun 53miles n mines already crunchin wen i put it in2 reverse!
northys got the right idea though...releasin the clutch b4 goin in2 reverse...always dus the trick 8)
Also always put it into first a couple of times before engaging reverse, it shouldn't crunch then...

as above, when i stop, i put in second then reverse (when i remember to lol) seems to stop it for me :)
i had the same problem and it turned out to be my clutch dragging...
got a new clutch fitted and it sorted the problem...
still crunches occasionally tho :(

as per Northys answer. yo need to:
1) come to a holt
2) depress clutch, place car in first gear foot still on clutch.
3) move gear stick to reverse unpress clutch
4) no crunch..
theory.. the crunch sound occures because the flywheel is still spinning forward. Placing box in 1st -first helps it stop...

thats the way i do it, have done for the last 3 years, since valver/willy ownership and i dont get any cruching its now habit!
i have the same problem, it also crunches when changing down into 2nd from 3rd unless im creepin at 10 mph, also slowing down in 2nd gear, it actually slips out of gear so have 2 hav my hand on the stick at al times in 2nd..........i think its broken :shock: !!!
