Anyone here having problems or have fixed problems with ES not going into reverse or generally just not shifting every time?

Yup, the answer was to shift it with a wrench. I hate to tell you, but it is only your fault for buying an ES. I haven't ever seen one that shifted as good as a manual.

I never understood why people feel the need to have a 4 wheeler ride like a car. I mean, power steering for Christ's sake? Just stick with what works and you wont have any problems. Mid-sized manual shift 4x4 bare bones(except for the meats) will last you at least 10 years
