All this new behavior follow the WD treatment? Someday one of us is going to have to crawl under the car to disconnect the linkage and loosen the bolts holding the shifter in the bucket, pull that sucker out and un-design that locking solenoid.
Meanwhile this was my latest attempt. Working so far, as in "no complaints yet."

Used this to get all the brush hairs out of the box. Then lubed that solenoid plunger best I could.
