Default Civic scraping noise in Reverse gear

I have a 98 Honda Civic DX.

In Reverse, there is a loud metal against metal scraping sound coming from beneath the car. In 1st gear there is no sound.

I just start it up, put it in Reverse and slowly back up and I get the sound. I put it 1st and go forward and there is no sound.

Any thoughts on what this might be?

Thanks.

The problem turned out to be a small rock lodged up in the transmission.
