I checked the relay and all is good. It clicks and has continuity when engaged. All connections looks good.
Now, the solenoid won't engage/disengage with the ignition.
I do notice that the shifter knob and arms move smoother after that solenoid manipulation. Perhaps something was still partially engaged causing the shifting to be less smooth....now it's smooth?
Note: I was just messing with the shifter in the garage while the car's on jacks. I haven't driven it.

This points to it being electrical, which is easier than pulling the trans n stuff.
You need to be all over it with an electric tester to find out why after the short period of time the relay activates the solenoid.
If you're proficient with the tester should be a quick find.
Good luck,
Martin.
