For some reason my car really does not want to go into reverse. You really have to wrench the shifter in there. Everything seems to work fine otherwise. I am assuming the reverse lockout solenoid is stuck on.


I recently changed brakes all around, wondering if I may have messed something up but I don't believe i did.

On a side note, i was having some electrical problems with my oil pressure sender which seemed to go away once i checked connections and wiggled wires a bit.

I am wondering if this is an electric problem or something else. Any ideas?

 

My buddy has an 02 ss camaro and is having the same issue. Everything is perfectly fine except when putting it into reverse, there is a lot of resistance. To get it into reverse it takes two hands to push it into gear. He would really like to know what the problem is so let me know if you get any info on this.

 

check the engine sensor fuse. I had the O2 wires get burned on the header and as a result kept grounding out the eng sensor fuse and that affected the reverse lock out solenoid

 

Yes it was that fuse, we changed it but 10 mins later it blew again. We checked the 02 sensors and everything but theres no signs of where its grounding out.

 

Great idea, I checked the fuse and now my maf and reverse lockout are back to normal.

I was having problems with my oil pressure gauge spiking all over the place (obviously electrical) and I can't figure out what the issue was.

Im guessing something related to that blew the fuse. For some reason, it works perfectly fine now I cant find any loose or burnt wires in the quick inspection i gave. Anyone have any ideas where i can look for the problem.

 

I have this issue, but my fuses are good.

Any other ideas?
