00' mn6 reverse catching
Hey all,
Just recently when I move into reverse, just like normal, it goes up and feels like it is in gear, but when I start to release the clutch, give gas... there is a loud spinning noise, not grinding, like it's not catching (which it isn't ) so if I give it a little more effort, more than it has taken in the past, it will move up just a bit more, and all is well.
I did a few searches and read up on the reverse lockout solenoid... is that what it sounds like to y'all? the solenoid going out? I will see if there are any codes being thrown when I get off work...
oh and I haven't done any work besides the c6 shifter, and that was maybe 8 months ago..
tia!!

If the reverse lock solenoid isn't working, you won't be able to move the shifter over to the right. If you can go over to the right, but it's not going into gear, then your problem isn't the solenoid.
See if this helps : Prior to going into gear, put the car in neutral, let the clutch out, and then clutch-in and go into reverse. I find I have to let the gears spin up (syncronisers?) before it will go into gear.
I noticed you swapped your shifter out. Make sure it's still tighted properly to the tunnel. That also can wreak havoc.
