Default Trouble shifting into reverse?

So it started about a month ago, running bone stock t56 it's just gotten hard to shift into reverse, no problems with any other gears, changed the fluids and bled the clutch, I use two hands to push it into gear, once it's in it's fine, some friends think the lockout solenoid took a ****, anyone have any other ideas?

Yes, that is the symptom of being "locked out" of reverse. There are a couple other things on that circuit (O2 sensor for one) so if nothing else is wrong it may be the solenoid.

I'm having a similar issue, and it's weird that you bring up the o2 sensor. Tonight I tried backing the car out of the garage, and it was really tough trying to push it over from the 5th-6th gear spot over to the reverse spot. Last week my O2 extension had drooped down and got chewed up and I had to cut and resplice the wires together. I checked tonight the reverse lockout and it seemed fine.

I actually hooked up HPtuners and was able to manually activate the lockout, which worked, but when I turned it off, instead of going into reverse easily, it was tough pushing it over.

I wonder if I have isses resulting from the O2 sensor wires fraying.

Figured it out. Engine sensor fuse was blown.
