Default Problem with Selecting the Reverse Gear - S40

Hi, all

Just bought a 1998 S40 (manual, 1.9L) a month ago, which is in excellent condition. Everything is fine but a problem with the reverse gear.

I occasionally have problem with selecting the reverse gear when maneuvering the car. Basically the car still moves forward (feels like in gear 1) even if it looks the gear stick is in reverse. I need to pull it back to neutral and try a few more times to make sure the reverse is working. It is odd because this does not happen every time when I reverse and all the other gears work with no problems at all.

My instructor suggested that there might be something wrong with the top hat bush and it should be a easy job for the dealer. I have little knowledge in cars and just wonder if any of you has similar experience or what do you think might be the cause of my problem.

Thanks in advance.
