Been a number of years since I have had to do this, but to add. I made a long rod with a small hook on the end to grab the pawl and pull it all the way toward the hole, then I could at an angle hook the ball at the end of the solenoid rod onto the pawl. NOW VERY IMPORTANT as stated at the very end the transmission article must be moved so that the pawl is able to move all of the way into a detent. If not aligned will warp the solenoid spacer. If you push the pawl with one of your smaller fingers and rotate the transmission you will feel it go in further, it is then aligned. Now pull it out towards the hole with your hooked tool and angle the solenoid.
Again speaking from several years ago.
