when i bought my car the shift mechanism was not adjusted correctly. so when i tried to downshift to 2nd, it nearly always ground the reverse gears.
the solution was to adjust the steering column/shift mechanism position by loosening the two screws inside the dash that hold the column up and to move the whole assembly in or out until the shifter is positioned correctly, then lock the screws down again. the adjustment needed was small.
i was quite careful to not take the car out of the parking lot until i had the adjustment right, but it was so bad to start with that there was nowhere to go but up. since then it has worked just as it should.
i don't know if this adjustment is your problem, but it's another place to look. good luck...
