The sensor was not able to detect the selected gear reliably and confused the control unit. So maybe the seal failure is not the root cause but the consequence of something else? Just a thought.

I believe it was a consequence of my son zigging and zagging... and yinging and yanging... while the Rs were singing every scale.
The car has since started in Park... but thanks for the insight!
