96 tranny grinds in reverse

Ive got a 96 civic ,automatic, when you try to put it in reverse it grinds like a straight shift.I adjusted the shifter cable and that didnt help either.

Change your fluid and filter. Lower your idle. The transmission isn't spinning down properly, probably because of the excess pressure from a high idle or low fluid (low fluid won't cause excess pressure.)

That didnt work either,thanks anyway. Ill keep tryn

Did you ever get that tranny fix, .... Mine just gave up on me on the road, .... i let rest for a about 10 min. trying to figure out what was wrong, .. and turned it on and it run ok, but after driving about 1/4 of a mile, it just gave up again, ... i question a mechanic, he suggested it was the turbine on the transmision, .... do you know anything about it
