possible gear linkage problem sometimes the little nylon bushes go on the linkage

that's the same as mine, since i put gl4 gear oil in, the crunch has strangly gone, also if you let the gearbox spin down before selecting reverse, that can help 'put your foot on clutch, wait a few seconds before selecting revere'

pump clutch pedal twice then in bit like double declutching in days of old

Clutch down, select fourth to stop the gearbox, then select reverse. Works a treat on TVRs and Citroen BXs! (it was via TVRs that I picked up this trick - forums rather than ownership sadly!)

Doesn't really matter which gear, though first has a harder life, so I usually use a taller gear. I actually use fifth on the BX and if lucky enough to drive a TVR but the Nissans often have a detent to stop you going straight from fifth to reverse (my Bluebird certainly does).
