    Sometimes it doesn't always pop into reverse, at the the most I've had to up to three times. Is there something wrong with my clutch? I don't know too much but I'm trying, and yes I am stepping in all the way. I'm scared =[

    Fairly common on manual transmissions. Like Brian said^^^ease the clutch out a little, it should slip into reverse.

    ooo a lot of people have always told me to step down all the way, and always blamed me that I wasn't grrrr..

    Is that for all manuals of just some, cuz I don't remember my loose slutty honda doing that.

    Mine does this all the time, sometimes putting it in first and moving forward a few inches then going into reverse works too. Otherwise yeah, let the clutch out just a bit, not so much that it grinds into reverse, but you'll feel it drop in.

    My trans new and rebuild still does that... and sometimes makes noise just going back into first at a stop.

    mine does that also. If it doesn't go in I put it in 4th gear and then in reverse.

    You are not alone. A lot of the magazine test drive reports mention the same thing about being hard to into reverse. Getting the car to move forward a liitle bit helps to get it into reverse. I had a Mazda that did the samething.

    Yeah, my '06 does this too. Usually a quick pop in and out of the clutch or shift into first then R does it.
