Does it work if you disconnect the linkage? It might just need the linkage adjusted so there isn't so much pressure pushing on it.
Most people remove it entirely and get a FOC (forward only conversion). Less junk to worry about and the trans lasts longer. The reverse gear has a tendency to grind up early in it's life.

You can use a failsafe, which you should use anyway. Or you can plunk down some coin and get a Nomadio Sensor or React! Back on to you question, the stock mini servo for for/rev is junk, they are prone to self-detonation for no apparent reason.

I run a Spektrum on my Revo and put in the Center diff/ rear brake combo. The Spektrum also has a built-in fail safe.
