Place a tranny jack under the tranny and undo the tranny crossmember and let the tranny drop an inch or 2 and you should be able to get to the solenoid.

Yeah I guess that sounds simple enough. I'll get into that as soon as the weather gets good enough. Thanks.

Mine just started getting almost impossible to get into reverse, and mine was the ENG SEN fuse under the hood.

Argh. yea, the fuse was blown, but is shorted out somewhere. I just bought a new fuse, cranked the motor, it didnt go into reverse, shut it down, and saw that the new fuse blew. This blows :/

my 98 ls1 did the same thing. It took to hands and a lot of muscle to get into reverse. I was told it was the reverse solenoid or what not
