Default sounds bad when shifting into reverse

5 speed, 95,v6, manual, whenever i try to put it in reverse, it makes a gross gears grinding sound, only slightly when i jam it into reverse but if i try to slowly put it in, it sounds terrible, any sugestions?

and whenever i take corners extremely fast, the traction light comes on, how do i turn off traction control completely?

Yeah, it sometimes happens to me too, I dunno why either, I'm not touching the gas at all. Or sometimes it will be really hard to shift into reverse, I have to shift to 1st again and then abck the reverse a few times :'(

I think thats just something with the 5 speeds, mine does it to, sometimes I just let the car roll a little and I can get into reverse nicely.

The grinding that you hear is due to the lack of syncros on our 1st gear and reverse. If you don't want it to grind, hold the clutch in for a short moment before shifting to reverse, or shift to another gear (usually i do 5th since its the closest) before shifting into reverse. As for it not shifting into gear, i usually just release and reapply the clutch and it works.
