There's a reverse inhibitor solenoid on the 6-speed Tremecs - in these two instances, you can't get into reverse:
*moving forward (as in driving, or rolling >3 mph)
*ignition off
In short, the only way you can get reverse gear with the engine / ignition on is when you're just about at a full stop/ slower than 3 mph.
Reverse gear is fully synchronized on these Tremecs, and when shifting in the 5-6 gate in motion at speed, Reverse is blocked by the solenoid as a safety device (and to protect the tranny's internals).
This is also described in the owners' manual as well
