2007 Saturn Vue, manual transmission, 44810 miles. Tried to shift to reverse, couldn't get into gear. Went to 1st, then back to reverse ok. Later in day, same problem/solution. Dinnertime: tried to go to reverse, and stick flopped back w/ no resistance at all. Again . . . 1st to reverse everything fine. To dealer next day . . . Diagnosis: clips holding shifter cables bad, recommends replacing both cables and ends/clips at shifter. Tried to take to independent garage to have repair performed, and upon pickup at dealership both clips were apparently so bad that no linkage between shifter and transmission now exists. Car is unable to move under own power. Parts are available to be replaced. Out of bumper-to-bumper at 36k miles . . . Not covered under 5yr/100k miles powertrain warranty.
