Tranny Grinds on Shifting into Reverse

Thanks again to all who offered thoughts on the grinding sound I was getting
when shifting into reverse after installing a new clutch (but only after the
engine and tranny were hot).

I found that the bolt through the rear (firewall) engine mount was loose.  I
had loosened this but not removed it to drop the transaxle, and had
forgotten to re-tighten it.

After tightening this bolt, the problem seems to have gone away.  Could be
coincidence, or it could be that this was the cause.
