difficult reverse

[yellow jacket]

I have an 03 6 speed. It takes 2 men and a boy to put in reverse after truck has gone 10 to 20 miles and warmed up. When cold, it's fine. Other gears shift fine. Put in new clutch slave about 10,000 mi ago and trans oil changed every 25k with Pennsoil. Truck has 293,000. I do alot of towing and never had a problem with clutch or transmission except with this reverse issue. Any ideas??

thanks

clutch in, shift into 5th first, then put it in reverse

everytime i use reverse i always put it into 2nd then into reverse. always seems to go smoother that way for me
