Ok i had a twig/stick stuck under my Z06 it wouldnt come out no matter what i tried. Finally i stopped put the car in reverse and accelerated pretty aggressively for app 25 feet. A loud bang was heard about the same time i clutched and braked the car. Well no more reverse and the damn stick didnt come out either. 1st thru 6th fine no issues but no reverse. Anything yawl suggest short of pulling it? Can i fix it in place?

Start by looking at the external shift linkage. Hopefully it's not internal.

Check the wiring to the reverse lockout solenoid.
