Default Grinding When moving backwards...

Hey guys, I've had this issue going on in my c5 for a couple months now. Occasionally when I go in reverse (or even when I'm drifting backwards) I hear this very awkward and rather annoying grinding sound. Honestly it sounds like metal on metal and I was wondering what it may be. I'm planning on having it checked out soon but I was curious if anyone else had encountered this issue. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe something in the E-brake dragging?

That's an interesting idea. I've actually been having issues with the e-brake for a few weeks now. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. That would be a much easier fix than trans or synchros which is kind of what I thought it was.

Mine started making a grinding sound last week. Turns out it was a front hub bearing that was going out. Had it replaced and everything is back to normal now.
