Our 75 (4 speed) had this problem occasionally too. It went away after
a gearbox rebuild a while back. I'm not sure what the problem was
cause I didn't rebuild it. HOWEVER, I did hear of a trick which
got us by the problem the few years before the rebuild:
Before trying to shift into reverse, put the clutch in, shift to 2nd,
and THEN into reverse. Seemed to work pretty well (although I really
don't know why). Perhaps putting the car temporarily in 2nd stopped
whatever was spinning?
Maybe this'll work for your car? Hope it helps.
