happens to me too(with the 3650), I just let go of the clutch, then press it again and it always goes in that time.

for the t5/t45 5th gear and reverse gear share the same synchro, so try putting it in 5th, then reverse

I haven't heard of any fixes other than a T-56 swap.

When i had manual i would always before even trying to put it in reverse i would put it in first give it a little gas (not enough to move the car) and then try reversrs, if that doesnt work jiggle it a lot
