Do the linkage adjustment first, its a DIY in the Hayes manual. If you need me to post directions, I'd be happy to. If this doen't do it, go for the modified shifter linkage. It's probably best done by a dealer. Costs seem to range between $200-$500 for the job. If this doesn't work, go for a new or rebuilt tranny (or new reverse gear). Dealers will try to skip the first two cheap steps and try to charge you $1500 for something that might have been cured with 1/2 hour of work, or $500, respectively.
Don't be a sucker, confront them if they tell you that you simply "need" a new reverse gear if the other options have not been addressed yet. I hate going to the dealer, and bring my car to an INDY when I can't do the repair myself. It's the only way I can afford to own this car.
Good luck to you!
