Default car wont go into reverse....

I have a 97 Mustang GT 5-speed and sometimes it wants to grind going into reverse... even if i let it sit for 20 seconds... am I too rough on it maybe? is this commong in the 4.6L t45's?

got mine for like 560-600 (dont exactly remember) parts and labor. thats on the cheap side but it is a reputable shop in town. that's also me pulling it out and taking it to them. a buddy of mine spent over 4K to have his done but he just went in dropped off the keys and had them do everything. that also included a really freaking expensive clutch and pressure plate.
