Something about a syncromesh or something like that.

This is what my driving instructor told me, older cars take longer to syncronise the gearing or something

Reverse is a straight cut gear. Most cars dont have syncromesh for reverse aswell which is why you cant select reverse whilst moving forward.

It's just what they do really. Sometimes they crunch when you aren't moving...
