Button Reverse Lockout

Don at DampD has some of the Samoco Reverse Lockout Controller boxes that SVR-S mentioned above. I bought one and it works great. Putting a switch in is stone age, but at least it is safe, but your suggestion above is irresponsible and I am surprised the forum would allow you to propogate something that Tremec literally told me can get you killed.

I discovered that if you unplug the harness from the temperature sensor fill plug and the CAGS solenoid, there is enough slack to let the reverse lockout solenoid hang down pretty far on the passenger side of the transmission so there's no need to fight the electrical connector while it's in place and hidden from view. Unscrew the old solenoid from the housing and screw the new one in. Plug

The Reverse Lockout function activates a reverse lockout solenoid above a set road speed. This ensures the transmission cannot be put into reverse when travelling forwards above the set speed.

You don't have to wire up the solenoid at all but it used to take me 2 hands and sometimes brute force to push past the reverse lockout and put the car in reverse. Now, at the flick of a switch, it goes right in and I don't look like a retard trying to back into a parking spot. Just don't wire it up leaving power constantly applied to the solenoid.

That is not all to actually engage the reverse lockout, the driver is required to stop the vehicle completely before he can make any switch. This ensures a significant risk reduction for your car. In modern vehicles, drivers are required to perform additional actions if they want to utilize the reverse lockout.

The reverse lockout solenoid is there to prevent accidental selection of reverse gear in the 6 speed transmissions whilst at speed. This works through the PCM Powertrain Control Module or ECM Engine Control Module depending on what model and year you're using.

Step 2 Install the Switch. Whether you use a reverse lockout switch near the gear selector or a clutch pedal switch, install the device and wire it accordingly. You might have to connect some to an ignition-switched power source and others to the chassis ground. But all must have a reverse wire link to the ECU to transmit the activation signal.

So I switch to a spring loaded reverse lockout that replaces the solenoid. No wiring or box needed and is less expensive. It works great. The one I bought came with 2 different springs, so you can set it to your liking. I attached a link to one like the one I am running.

A reverse lockout solenoid is a small, valve-like device that is located in the transmission. It controls the flow of fluid from the transmission to the driveshaft. The solenoid is activated by a switch on the dashboard and it prevents fluid from flowing to the drive shaft when a car is in reverse gear.
