So my manual 2005 mustang GT won't go into reverse unless I use 2 hands and pull it really hard. Does anyone have any idea why?

Make sure your clutch is fully releasing, if it is, check the shifter for binding (these cars use a remote shifter, the plastic in them can wear out).

If those two things are good, it's possible that you have internal transmission wear/damage causing it.
