I know I posted about the same problem before.
I have the reverse and 3rd problem.
Question is do you shift hard and missed a few?
I honestly don't know what could causes the reverse problem, but I am fixin to find out pretty soon. The 3rd gear popping out or getting stuck is usually attributed to a bent shiftfork. I started having this problem after I missed a shift in a race. I am also clueless about the 1st popping out.
Your going to need a complete rebuild on the transmission.
BTW when going into reverse always put it into 1st, first. It synchronizes the shafts and you'll notice is almost becomes effortless if you follow that procedure.
I am going to tear down my tranny pretty soon to fix the issues.

Adjust the stops the way the factory says to not the way you feel like and they will stop blocking your shifting. Make sure you use locktite on the stops after you do the proper adjustment, you do not want them self adjusting to no shift pattern position.

This is one of the reasons I took my bpp shifter off and went back to a cut stock setup. I can only guess that the length of the shifter below the fulcrum is slightly shorter, so it allows the shifter ball/plastic piece to "fall" out (up, really) of the collar its sitting in.
