Short shifter will make it a bit harder to engage gears because you have less leverage. I second snipers advice if you're having trouble.

I find that if it doesn't go into reverse the first time, just pump the clutch once and it'll be fine.

Will try those suggestions...thanks guys. I do find that when I slowly release the clutch, if it is not precisely in reverse, it slips in thereafter...thankx once again for the help!
