Maybe the syncros are misaligned? Try putting it into 2nd or 4th and then reverse.

Did you perform this test?

Check out the sticky on the clutch pedal.

I would start with the fluid mine was doing the same except not popping out of gear. I bled my clutch a few times it goes in fine now but I,m pretty sure my hydralics need to be replaced.

You'll have to pull the tranny and open it up and inspect the reverse gearset, slider, fork, etc. My friend had the same issue and it was pretty messed up in there.

I wouldn't delay too long either. The longer he waited and the more he drove it, the worse it got. I think he was continuing to damage parts.
