5th gear grind
Ok. I got the infamous 5th gear grind. Reverse works fine, 5th gear works when stopped. After doing research, figured on reverse lock out solenoid.
Replaced said lock out solenoid (that's a fun story in itself).
5th gear still grinds, same conditions as before.
Any ideas?

It doesnt go into reverse after the car is off, so I am led to believe that means the solenoid is in good shape, correct? Car only has 45k miles, and as far as I know was quite literally a weekend cruiser.
