Tranny Grinds on Shifting into Reverse

I recently put a CAP HP clutch and Fidanza flywheel in my 1993 SE-R.
All seemed to be in order until I spent a little more time driving the
car. Here is what I have come to notice:
When the car is cold, everything works just fine. She shifts like budda
-- including into reverse.
Once I drive for three quarters of an hour or so, she grinds when I
shift into reverse. I make sure the car is absolutely stopped, depress
the clutch all the way to the floor, wait a few seconds, and shift into
reverse. She grinds. Every time. Ouch.
This only happens after everything gets heated up. I can drive for 15
minutes -- still like budda. Forty-five minutes, and she grinds.
FWIW, I am running fresh MT-90. And I don't think I had this symptom
before I changed the clutch.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I can reduce the "slack" in the
cable to see what happens, but it's pretty tight already and I don't
want to pre load the TO bearing. Maybe once the disc wears in a little
more, the problem will be reduced?
Thanks in advance.
