I can shift in to other gears with having my normal grip on the shift knob but only when i have to shift in to reverse it gives me the hesitation, the videos shows it exactly what i am talking about. Please advise!

So, it looks like, as you push/pull the shifter to the left (towards you) to get into reverse, the shifter moves freely to a point; in which the shifter than seems to have to pass through a "gate", if you will. When the shifter is about this "gate", that is when you are having your issue, is that right?
Looks like that video is with the car/engine off (you didn't note this, but it doesn't seem like the engine is running). If that is the case, I would say you are looking at an issue with the the reverse lock-out or the shifter linkage. Honestly, I cannot remember the "normal" operation of the TR3160 for the non-V8 Camaros. There is likely some resistance as you move into that "gate" area, but it should be very minor and really just provide "feel" for moving towards revers.
I would at least stop by a dealer that has a manual, non-V8 Camaro and check how the shifter feels. But the issue doesn't seem to be the operator.
