Hard to get into reverse.

[99WhiteGT]

Im not new car guy. but out of curiosity why would that help the tranny go into reverse
?

Someone correct me if im wrong but i believe its because if your trying to put it in reverse and the shafts are spinning to fast then it will be hard to shift, but if you put it into first gear first it will slow down the shafts so that you can put it in reverse easily
