I've got a similar problem, it's tough to go into reverse, then pops out once I'm moving.

I had a similar situation last summer with my '99 Formula. It was the reverse Lock-out solenoid. When the car is rolling fwd over 5km (i'm cdn) it's engaged to prevent accidental reverse selection. When the solenoid fails, it fails closed for safety. I think it cost $80 or so cdn (it was awhile ago) so must be around 50 bones in the states.

I think what he was saying is very likely...Although a trick that i've heard that works from expierence with some of my other cars...is 1) put it in 2nd gear...2)Then shift straight into reverse....Should* help out! let me know how it goes! Trending Topics
While I agree fully with what Veri has described as a way to ease the work on a tiered synchronizer , a failed solenoid is easy to detect. If you actually get into the reverse gate( side ways motion all the way to the passenger side) and the hard shift is just the up / reverse motion = your problem is the synchronizer. If, however, the load sideways into the gate is what is the issue= that indicates a bad solenoid. Hope that helps.

I have the same problem, but it only happens occasionally. I will get in my car and I have to sit and mess with it for a few seconds to get it to go into reverse. It goes all the way over, but it won't go up.
How would you know for sure that it is the syncro? I have a 2002 car but I'm not sure if it is still under warranty. How much approximately would it be to have this fixed if it wasn't under warranty?
