Default Reverse Lockout Solenoid

Hey everyone so like the title says, im having problems with my reverse lockout solenoid on my 02 C5Z. Bought it about 4 months ago, on the way out the driveway the old timer shouts "oh be careful with 5th gear, sometimes you can grab reverse" Awesomeee, thanks for telling me after ive already paid you. Anyway, it needs to be changed. I can access reverse in all key positions, at all speeds. I got a new solenoid and read some of the DIY posts. Gave it a shot the other day with zero luck. Anyone have any experience doing theset IN CAR? (yes, i know the service info says to remove the transmission) I think i need a 34mm chrome deep socket and a whole lot of patience. Thanks

Get the 13mm over the top of the tranny from the passenger side and wiggle the housing out. Use a 34mm deep socket and pop the old solenoid out. Slap the new one in and reverse to install. Thanks everyone
