Manual Transmission Reverse Gear Question

I've noticed that when I roll back (like getting out of my driveway) in Neutral and while still rolling and wanting to back out a little faster I shift in Reverse. There is slight resistance and a light grinding noise. I've read the manual and says nothing about this. So do I have to be in a COMPLETE stop in order to even mess with Reverse?:confused:

Note: I am pushing the clutch all the way in.

My 2001 Forester manual (dual range tranny) I have to double clutch it to get into reverse, never grinds though. Just wont go in no matter how hard you try. Everytime I have to double clutch it :(
My first gear is making a whinning sound and grinds if i try to put it into first when not completely stopped. Don't need to double clutch that though.
Its just something ive learnt to live with.

I don't shift into reverse if the car is moving, it will crunch -- I do it at a complete stop only. If the shifter won't go into reverse as it often happens, I shift into 4th, let the clutch out a bit for gears to move, then shift into reverse.
