Does it grind while shifting into reverse? If so, then the clutch is not fully disengaging.

That can also make it more difficult to shift into forward gears also.

General rule of thumb in our shop is, disengage the clutch and count 1001,1002,1003, then shift it in reverse. If it does not grind, the clutch is fully disengaging. If it does grind then there is a clutch issue.
