Not to be picky Les, but it should not be stiff shifting into reverse. When cold, my car will go into reverse with the greatest of ease. When warm, it will grind unless I put it into first gear first, to stop the input shaft from spinning. But even when I do that it still goes into reverse without resistance. I suspect I just need a tranny fluid change (I know its not clutch or linkage related). For you les, I would suggest bleeding your clutch line, adjusting the linkage, or changing your transmission fluid. (all the standard stuff) Take care now!!
