I've found with my ebay short shifter that the push-down reverse becomes easier as it is used more and more, likely due to the pin orienting itself to the proper angle.
Got my shifter installed about a week and a half ago. Like it a lot just need to do some fine tuning. Overall impressed. The push down is really hard though.
