I noticed switching to redline mt-90 transmission fluid helps. Mine isn't too bad I just slap it over to reverse. I think It's a common thing with the short shifter to be a little more difficult to put in reverse

Anytime you shorten the throw it will make it harder to get into reverse. Basically makes the spring act like its stiffer. It's not bad with just the URD short throw. I have that and a coupe solid 8.5 inch shifter and you have to give it a good slap to get it in reverse.

Just like coupe said.
I took my truck to get detailed this past weekend and it was comical watching them trying to get it in reverse!

The factory shifter has some internal rubber bushing that wear out over time. I cut the shifter apart and remove these.
Then I reduce the length of the shifter from about 11" to either 8 1/2" or 9 1/2".
When I remove the rubber bushings, I replace them with a polyurethane epoxy. It makes for a crisp firm shift. While it works by itself. It works better when used with an URD short shifter.
