Here's the procedure I use, as a suggestion:
To start, turn key to the first position, clutch in, then pull the gearshift out of reverse into nuetral, then start up.
To shut down, gearshift in nuetral, turn off engine and turn key back to the first position. Clutch in, shift to 1st gear (to make shifting into reverse easier), then shift to reverse, turn key to lock position and remove. The idea here is to avoid shifting (crunching) into reverse while the engine is running to save the fragile reverse gear.
Sounds like a pain but once you are in the habit you won't even think about it...
It is possible to disable the reverse lockout but gearshift lever housing must be disassembled.
