reverse lock out selonoid. How does this future work? Is it controlled by PCM? Does that future work when the car goes over certain speed?
What did you 6 speed guys do for that. It's been a while and forget about it.
Allso I put stop brtacket on the clutch pedal tp prevent bottoming but now it does not go in reverse gear from a dead stop. I have to shift in to a gear and to the reverse. Should I let the pedal more pressed in? Whats the max travel for a stock master?

Re: reverse lock out selonoid. Yes, the PCM engages a solenoid at 1 or 2 MPH to prevent shifting into reverse.
I don't know about the clutch pedal. Do you need a stop bracket with a hydraulic clutch??

Re: reverse lock out selonoid. I thought that the uncharged state of the solenoid was "lockout" and the pcm only engages the solenoid when the car is not moving. Am I thinking wrong?

Re: reverse lock out selonoid. Bad word choice on my part. How about "transitions" instead of "engages".

Re: reverse lock out selonoid. Does this mean that you can't just remove the solenoid? Like if you were using the Accell DFI and no PCM.
Edited for: I reread the previous posts a couple more times. I can, just wouldn't have reverse locked out which the PCM does when the vehicle is in motion.

Verdad Gallardo Re: reverse lock out selonoid. Well you could, but you wont have any reverse lockout and 5th gear is right there with reverse. Maybe a better idea is to hook up a switch if you have to go Accell.

Re: reverse lock out selonoid. I had a hell of a time trying to shift into reverse when my VSS was interrupted to feed my autometer speedo and autometer sends a buffered signal to the PCM. Then I spliced it back so that the signal from the VSS went to the PCM and to the autometer speedo and since then, the PCM correctly manages the reverse lockout solenoid. My shop manual says that the PCM "engages" the solenoid above 3mph.
