Replacing Reverse lock Out Solenoid on 2012 M6
Is there a special tool required to replace the reverse lock out solenoid on a 2012 M6? The size is 1 1/16 or 27mm but the deep sockets are 2 shallow. Any hep would be appreciated.

OK again. The original is a 34MM. Buy an impact type deep socket (Autozone). A sear Craftsman 27MM Deep will work for the replacement. Use a 1/2 to 3/8 ratchet adapter. You have to do this by feel as you cannot see on top of the Trans. I did however bored the 27MM socket for a longer depth to engage the hex. Takes all of about 15Min. Mine is an 05 Coupe with M6 Trans.
