The 3 seconds thing is from the official land rover documentation (as DGFS points out). I don't pretend to know exactly why, but couldn't it be so that the gearbox spins down to a lower speed whilst the gears are dis-engaged, and then you put it in to high ratio?
If I press the clutch in and immediately select reverse gear i often get a clunk, but if I wait for a couple of seconds, and then select reverse, then it's no problem. This also doesn't have syncromesh, so I've always thought of this being due to the gearbox slowing down too.
