[QUOTE="Valley Vette, post: 108468, member: 1008"] First off, let me introduce myseft to the C5 Forum since I've previously only darkened the halls of the C3 gang! I'm retired military now living in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. My wife and I purchased a '75 L-82 Coupe back in 2011 which we sold this month after we found a '04 Coupe that gave us a few more creature comforts! Did I mention I am now retired... You get my drift I'm sure. So that leads me to today. I've had the '04 out about a half dozen times, including a day-cruise with the Nova Scotia Corvette Club, and when I backed into the garage this evening and shifted to drive (automatic transmission) the shifter moved without any resistance (my first clue) and I could still see the reflection of the back-up lights (second clue) behind the car. I moved the shifter full spectrum several times and did manage to get the transmission into park; and that where it sits now. I'm not a technical guy, however my first guess is the whatever connects the shifter atop the tunnel to the transmission underneath (clip/nut/cable...?) has simply let go or broken. Unlike the C3, looking under the C5 doesn't provide any immediate info. Before I go chasing the wind, I thought that I would seek the wisdom of those of you who have been driving a C5 a lot longer than I have. Any suggestions as to where to begin....?
