Search for "shift cable" under C6 Corvette thru the advanced search option. Literally dozens of hits relating to the shifter cable failing.

They don't break often on individual cars. Looks like they get brittle and snap when a car is about 10-11 years old. Most that have snapped seem to be 2009 and earlier. Some later cars as well of course but it definitely seems to be more a matter of time and not mileage. I replace mine in my 2007 last year and should be good for another 10 years
