Stuck shifter.

[Richard Evans]

Help needed. C6 2007 auto. Shifter will only go into drive or neutral. Will not go into reverse park or sports mode. TIA

Common for C6s with auto tranny is a micro switch off shifter,
Also, could be the safety brake pedal switch or a solenoid in tranny

Park-Lock solenoid malfunction.
The solenoid is located on the shift lever, and activates when you press on the brake to unlock the gear shift lever to allow a shift to reverse or park position.
Press on the brake pedal with the ignition on and see if you can hear a small clicking sound each time you depress the brake pedal,
if you do not, the solenoid needs to be replaced.
You have to remove the console and gear shift lever assembly to get to it.

-- Safety Brake light fuse is blown
-- Brake switch (you should hear a faint clicking when applying the brakes)
-- Reverse lock-out pin is damaged
-- Park-lock solenoid malfunction/damage
-- Shifter cable/linkage damage

Worst-case requires shifter replacement
