Default ST170 hard to select reverse

My mates got a st170 and he said sometimes its hard for him to select reverse most of the time.Is it just cause of the gearbox.

I've just had exactly the same thing with mine, turns out it was a loose spring on the cable

Edit - forgot to say, mine was the same with 5th and 6th as well as reverse
