Mine notches every once in a while, more so when cold. Try this - shift into neutral - let the clutch out. Then press the clutch in and make sure it is depressed fully, then try the shift into reverse.

Ahh Lester. I was about to suggest double clutching, you beat me to it.

Is the Reverse gear syncroed? I would guess not.

No syncro on reverse. The double clutch action slows down the process, and gives you some focus. Reverse is not a gear you need to shift into quickly, unless you are doing a remake of "Gone in 60 seconds".
