Was driving my cat and it popped up shift system fault. I couldn't move my car. It stalled in the middle of the road. I contacted several people about this. Found out the shifter cable came loose from the transmission. The clamp that hold its on was gone. I happened to just backed up and this happened. If this was to happen driving this could have resulted in a serious accident.
