T5 clutch question...

After 3 hard weeks of waiting, installing, and troubleshooting, I have a T5 swapped in from a 700R4... I've been having on going Hydraulic issues with the master and slave, but bought new ones and it seems to be resolved.

Just a quick question.... right now, the car is in the air. I started it, and I'm able to shift 1-3 fine (didn't go higher since it's in the air). When I go into reverse after waiting about a minute., it grinds a bit (I know its not sychonized).

Is this because it's in the air? or is it because the clutch needs to be broken in? I don't think it's a hydraulic issue, the pedal seems pretty firm with about 2" of free play.

Thanks!
