When you go to put it in reverse and it doesnt go, its just because the teeth on the gear arent lined up and they wont mesh, they have a cone shape to them from the factory which helps it mesh but the more you grind the more those round off. If it doesnt go in when i push at reverse i just slowwwly let the clutch out as if im ready to drive in reverse and it slips in right as the clutch begins to engage and then youre on your way.

Me too I just shift into 1st move the car about a inch and then It slides right into reverse. If I dont it doesn't grind but it just wont go into gear. The w58 does not have a syncro for reverse.
