What is it doing? You don't need a rear mech with a clutch. In my experience a 1x drivetrain with a narrow-wide chainring does make more noise than a "normal" 2x drivetrain.

Not being able to pedal backwards doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong.
Derailleur drivetrains aren't designed to run backwards.

@Technics100
got the bearings out and put new ones in, put it all back together tonight and it's doing the same thing.. I'm running 42T narrow wide front ring with 11-32T tiagra cassette with a 105 5800 med cage rear mech.. is the 1x causing an issue? do I need a clutch rear mech?
