Next time you start the engine in the morning, don't just reverse out of
the driveway immediately, but pump the clutch pedal to the floor (and full
release) quickly several times before shifting into reverse.

If the lever does /not/ get stuck in reverse after the pedal-pump sequence
is performed, then jim beam is likely right about at least one of his two
major points.

My money is on the clutch actuation system not working properly (yours is
hydraulic, I believe). If the friction disc was sticking to the splines,
you'd have trouble shifting during normal driving as well.
