Last week my 2012 Fiesta Zetec started having issues while I'm reversing - basically, it starts making a grinding sound and stops reversing altogether (as in neutral). I have to select the reverse gear again, it goes a couple meters and then loses grip again.

It gets worse by each day, meaning this happens more and more often.

I will inevitably take it to a repair shop. What should I expect? Transmission/clutch changed? Do warranties usually cover this fault, mine is not really clear in this case - it's a mechanical fault, but is it "wear and tear"?
