There's a way of avoiding it happening and towards the bottom is my rather crappy explanation of why it happens
Hopefully it'll give you some answers

Hi there
thanks for ur post. i think your explanation is bang on it makes alot of sense.
ive tried holding the clutch down before putting in reverse and made no diffrnce. it only started recently the grinding and is playing with my head.
i read a post in here cant find it now but some1 said they changed the pedal box and that resolved the issue, make sense to u?
also ive never driven a car with the biteing point so low down, ive owned a 6n2 before and didnt have this issue with the biteing point.
