reverse has no syncros, stick it in 5th right before reverse, glides in everytime

I have to use 1st, but I will give 5th a try and see if that works also, so if 5th does not work try 1st gear and then reverse also.

And make sure you're not rolling at all when you want to go into reverse. I come to a compete stop snag 1st 5th then reverse, works every time.
