well it could be one or the other can't tell you. How often does it do this and explain the situation in detail. It appens a lot for some reason when you first start the car usually.

its normal. its because in a transmission reverse engages differently than the other gears, and somtimes things just dont line up, so you let the clutch out, let the gears move a bit and try it agian, no biggy

I have the same problem on occasion, I think it is normal.
I can tell you what I do and it works for me.
I release the emergency brake and let it roll back just a little.
Then hold the brake down to stop it.
Then it will normaly go into reverse.
If I'm not on an incline I just have to really slam it into reverse sometimes. Most manuals are like that. You have to use the bowlers grip.
Hope this helps.
