C7 Shift Cable
QUESTION: Has your shift cable ever broken? Those little plastic end connectors are not the most rugged in the world, and one of them broke on my C6 at a stoplight. I like to slide into neutral at a light, but only having the C7 for 3 months, wonder if I should avoid that procedure, or if the C7 mechanism is more robust...???

Apparently, the shifter cable broke on my c7 yesterday at a car show. It was in park but it showed in reverse. Couldn't get my car started but several kind corvette guys at the car show I just had arrived at, jacked up my car and man named Scott crawled under my car and did something to it. He said he had fixed it where I could drive it home in manual but use the parking brake to park and not to turn the engine off until I got it home. I drove it home in manual using the paddle shifters on my car to shift gears. Wonder what this repair will cost me 
but I’m thankful these guys were able to get my car drivable so I wasn’t stranded 2 hours from home.
