pops out of reverse
I recently purchased a 96 cavalier with a 5spd and I have an annoying problem. When I put the car in reverse it will sometimes jump out of gear(it only happens with reverse and seems to be worse when backing up a hill). It's almost like it doesn't fully engage. I've taken it back to the dealer and they say it's normal and I just have to "slap it into gear harder". I've driven plenty of standards and I've never had to slam any of them into reverse. I don't have the owners manual so I'm wondering if there's a trick to putting it into reverse that I'm not aware of. Is this normal!!!
P.S. The dealers suggestion seems to work but it seems to be excessive and hard on the shifter.
