No, they are different.
on the left hand grip is a red button push it in and apply the left brake,push your foot shifter down and you will be in reverse.
The fluid is thicker when cold so you get a harsher engagement when you put it in reverse. Also, part of that problem is that the transmission is wearing out but it's highly unlikely that you need a rebuild very soon. Check the transmission mount to make sure it's not broken because if it is, it'll torque upwards and bang when it's put in reverse. You can check that by putting it in reverse with your foot on the brake and tapping the gas pedal.
You press the button on the left hand brake that has an red R on it then you down shift.
add atf. take to local oil change place have them drain and replace filter and fluid.

push the red button on left brake lever before pulling it back, once the lever is pulled then pucs the bottom shift button and it will drop outta neutral into reverse.
Let it idle then slide lever back into neutral then into reverse rev up and it should be in reverse
could be either transmission shift linkage not engaging reverse ( stops at neutral ) worn joint connectors sometimes cause this. or reverse clutches or gears bad inside transmission.
