I pulled into driveway tonight after a 45 mile trip. Got out, decided to make sure car was all the way in the carport since we might get some hail tomorrow. Car started up, and shift lever seemed like it wasn't connected, no matter where I put it it stayed in reverse. Put it back into park, tried to start and all the lights on dash lit up, no start, shifter is loose, no detents. After research seems like the shift cable has popped or the plastic bushing on either end of the shift cable has disintegrated. Is it possible to access the shifter linkage by pulling up the interior console to get at the linkage. Want to see (hoping) if the plastic bushing is disintegrated or if cable is broken. Don't have access to lift or jack and since car won't start, can't drive it to local shop. Corvettes (C5) have same problem it seems. And can be accessed through the floor console.
Hoping ccclarke can give some insight.
