It might be the coupling or the bushing, but if you can get it in, then 
it is NOT the clutch cable or Bowden tube. It is quite likely the 
reverse gear pinion inside the tranny. The teeth on these get worn 
off from shifting too quickly with the clutch not fully disengaged.

The reverse gear is different from all the others in that it is the only 
one which is NOT constant mesh, nor does it have synchros.
