Default Possible Solution: Reverse Engagement

So I noticed at sometimes its kind of hard to engage reverse, sometimes won't want to shift in reverse. So I shifted in 2nd and back into reverse and went perfectly smooth. So, try shifting in 2nd or 4th gear if reverse is hard to engage. Please let me know if that has any affect, worked for me

Check clutch fluid level. There could also be air trapped in the clutch fluid.

As stated, regrease the shifter. Also put some fresh clutch fluid if your having this problem. Both of those should help drastically.
