Welcome to Stage Three.
Drive on! 3. 48 Shifting Trick: instead of simply shifting into Reverse, shift into 1st gear and while still holding down the clutch shift into Reverse (do this only when stationary!). This resets the transmission and aids shifting for the rest of your drive (smoother, faster, etc.).
