Default grinding into reverse

I have a 2008 z51 m6. I frequently have a grind to go into reverse. I have no other issues in any other gears. Does anybody else have this issue or know if there is an adjustment to fix this. I had already changed the clutch fluid once. any suggestions

Get it documented with the dealer for sure, then change it again. As long as you keep it documented, it will be taken care of long after the warranty

Try shifting into 5 th first then go for reverse,if it still grinds the syncro is probably toast!
