Sounds like the clutch is not quite releasing fully. If you have a hydraulic
clutch, perhaps the slave is leaking, or there's wear in the pedal pivots.
In any case, there's no synchro on reverse, and when the oil is cold, the
gears spin due to viscous drag.
If there's no slop in the pedal or hydaulics, just push in the clutch, wait
a bit longer then select reverse.
