Are you idling with the clutch out, then throwing it in reverse? If so, then
the intermediate shaft is still turning and will cause the noise you describe. Otherwise, I gots no idea.

in my experience, when it grinds, but is still backing out, the car is usually not completely...
in gear. all i do is take it out of reverse and then throw it right back in. in your case maybe a synchro is going bad?

yup. I'm pretty sure it's normal - self adjusting tension in the parking brake.
It did it on my 99.5 (since totalled) and is identical in my 01.
