Tear out the console, undo the short shift kit which had previously given me problems, check the slide in the cables. Bingo! Jack up the car and crawl under. One of the cables had decided to pop out of it's mount near the transmission. I put it back in but I don't trust that clip anymore. Happily it did this in my garage and not out in the boonies somewhere! A common occurrence?

Very common issue.
Try to bend the clips to position. if it still slips, you can always zip tie it to place.
