K, this is odd! ... JUST now, parked on a very small (barely visably noticeable) incline. And the car starts gradually rolling backwards even though I'm in park. Threw the e-brake and no difference really. WTF?!!! ... It's like she's in neutral but even if the tranny is craping out, why would the e-brake have almost no effect?
Posting in here because I would like to hear some thoughts as to why it's like 'P' is acting like 'N'. And if so, is there a simple fix.
If anyone wants to add in why the e-brake is having no effect, I'm all ears!
Stock 4L60e, 150K miles(roughly) .. & no previous issues with trans until now.

It may be that your shifter bracket bolts backed out. They tend to come loose and will cause many problems. They are the two bolts attached to the trans pan that hold the shifted cable bracket. You are not far from us if don't figure it out then we can take a look at it.

BTW, also forgot to mention. ... Seems easier to get into 'R'/Reverse going down from 'P'/Park than it is to go up from 'D'/Drive. ...Any thoughts?
The bracket is broken, thats your problem going off the video.
I have one off my SS when I did the M6 swap at 32,000 miles.
I'll sell it for $15 shipped USPS if you want it.
I show you a picture of it if you're interested.
And if you pay with paypal before 4:00 eastern time I will ship it today.

.. Is it a bitch to swap out?..
I'll ship it out first thing tomorrow.
To change it out use a screwdriver to pry the end of the cable off the linkage.
Remove the two mounting bolts.
Remove this big staple from the cable.


Use some pliers to compress the two tabs and push the bracket off the cable.

To reinstall it just put the new bracket on, make sure the cable snaps in place, put the staple back in it, bolt it to the pan, snap the cable end on the linkage.
You should be done unless it needs to be adjusted, thats easy enough. Post here if you need help with that.

.. I wasn't picking up on the GTFO post and whether something got deleted so I didn't say anything.
