I had a heck of a time shifting into reverse until I realized I needed to 1) 
move the shifter left as far as it would go, 2) THEN lift, 3) move the last 
bit to the left then pull back into position. Lifting it while starting from 
the neutral position just doesn't seem to cut it. I think Gary is saying the 
same thing. One driver told me, (before I figured this out,) that he used 
both hands to lift it while shifting. Not necessary if you go left as far as 
you can before lifting! :)
