problems with grinding gears

Hey I don't no if this is my clutch or not but when I redline from 3rd to 4th it grinds like I gotta shove it in to 4th gear. Also when I reverse and I'm still rolling back and just try and put it in to first it grinds to but not as bad cause the rpms are low still kinda gotta force it in. All other gears are fine anyone know what this is?

Grinding is never normal. If you are sure that it is not operator error, I'd check your clutch bracket.

How many miles on the car? When did you last change the transmission fluid?
