How can I diagnose the problem Vauxhall Frontera 2.3 TD LReg?

bleed the clutch slave, if it happens again then change the clutch slave cylinder, not expensive and easy to do . bleed clutch until clean fluid is through.

many cars have issues getting into reverse and grind that i wouldn't worry about tbh if it wont go in to fifth then that sounds like your problem there i would thinkeither clutch or thrust bearing is faulty or the gear box it self has issues the only other thought could be your not getting enough movement on the slave piston i.e. not disigaging the clutch fully but this would be reare you would usally see a leak

Richard,
Yes it does crunch when I put it in reverse, But once its in gear the car pulls fine does not slip. when driving (On the move) all the gears are hard to get into and fifth is imposible just crunches, so at the moment i'm avoiding using fifth.

I bled both the master and slave cylinders.
Thanks for your reply Richard.

Have you bled the slave cylinder that actually operates the clutch arm?
When the car is hot ie normal running temp does it crunch when put into reverse?if it does your clutch is faulty.
