That isn't indicative of your clutch slipping. Having to engage the car in a forward gear to get in reverse happened all the time with my c5Z. Didn't happen on my tr6060. Having trouble going in to 5th or 6th might be another issue with the clutch/tranny. If it is slipping, you will know under full boost

Did you recently interfere with gear lever mechanism? There is an adjustment that may be require if you did and if not,the problem sound like the pressure plate is not comepletly releasing, usually when the clutch is partially engage it become difficult to get into reverse.
