Default Reverse gear

I have had my manual 2015 Z51 since late September. Every once in a while it doesn't fully go into reverse. I always make a conscious effort to ensure the shifter is fully thrown but I have come to find the grind at least a half dozen times.

Has anyone else experienced this?

No such problems, I would have it checked out.

I've had similar problems, rarely, on many cars. Reverse gears often don't have syncros. But if this happens moderately often, I'd agree to have it checked out by the dealer or a mechanic with lots of 'vette experience.

Off to the dealer I would say. Might be a minor fix, such as adjusting the linkage.
