reverse is always open so today i noticed that i can go in to reverse with no trouble at all when going forward, even on the freeway! any suggestions? is my tune going bad or is it the lock out solenoid itself?
your not going into reverse at highway speeds. you may be close, but if you get it to go anywhere near engaging the synchro, your going to be doing some money train ****.
Inspect the solenoid and adapter assy left of the shifter for looseness. If a CAGS solenoid (normally retracted) were installed where the reverse sol. (normally extended) belongs, you would have an always shiftable reverse too.
Check and make sure your headers hadnt melted the wires running down the passenger side or grounded one out. Mine done the same except mine did't want to let me go to reverse. Also check the eng sen fuse.
