Try pulling up the reverse detent collar on the lever as if you were going to shift into reverse. Now does it enter the 1st-2nd slot easily? If so, I'd bet on the reverse detent plate on the shifter bracket being out of adjustment.

You can remove the 4 plastic plugs, lift the rubber gear lever boot and see the plate quite plainly. Slacken the two 10mm bolts and adjust so that 1st/2nd are easy to access, but it won't go into the reverse slot without lifting the detent collar.

When you have the boot up, you'll see how it all works.
