It is true that REVERSE gear on most manual transmissions is not
synchronized. That means that it's quite possible that you will get a
little grinding noise when you engage the gear. The noise is normal
and the 'wear and tear' is minimal.
A solution that I've found to work real well on my Mazda -
Shift into a forward gear (pick one, any one will do - I use 3rd)
before shifting into reverse. Leave your foot on the clutch and
shift into REVERSE. This has the advantage of using the syncros
to "line things up" and, consequently, the shift into REVERSE is
noiseless.
