In a moment of madness this morning I recorded a video to show this process. It's a first attempt at a video so don't be too critical! Also I'm not a mechanic and was working one handed whilst recording, so hoping not to get it in the neck from "proper mechanics" or video production experts |

That connector looks like the same type that causes the "Interior Motion Sensor" fault and the cure is exactly the same procedure, Unplug it and Plug it back in again! |

This thread has been very helpful, our F2 manual had been having the same issues ie. reverse could be selected when moving and also the gear sticking in reverse. I have done the reverse solenoid clip a couple of times but the fault is back. Is there a more permanent fix? I was going to see if I can tighten the connection a bit, either nipping shut or pushing some foil or something onto the connector to make tighter, any suggestions please? |

thanks for the tip on fix. i had same issue with selecting 5th and 6th. gear shift kept wanting to go over to the right inside the reverse path. did the solonoid fix and yay it worked. many thanks for this thread. |

hello forum, it seems the problem returned just a month after fixing it with disconnecting the connector and reconnecting. Anyone knows which side the underlining fault lies? As i not been using 6th, 5th has been manageable. but think it is time to try and do a more permanent fix. any advise be greatly appreciated.
