If I just wait 2-3 seconds, and/or blip the throttle a bit, it goes into reverse without any trouble. Looks like I'm OK...

Thanks to all for the feedback.

Like the OP, I experienced this 915 feature today :(

I'm surprised no one brought this up in any of the longwinded 915 vs g50 discussions.

It's a true racing gear box, unlike the G50.

Clutch adjustment first, before you do anything else.

Clutch was adjusted recently.

Checked the manual and it indeed says to hold clutch down for several seconds before shifting to reverse. I am quite sure I didn't do that.

I'm just a tad surprised by this.

When I was young it was called "Clearing the gears". My Brother showed me when I was about 12 in a new Corvair. You just go to first , move a tiny bit forward and reverse goes smooth right in. I have done that with many cars all my life.
