Had a big rig blow a tire right in front of me once, took the "gator" down the center between the wheels and thought, whew! that was close. Couple hours later went to pull into a rest stop and the shifter just flopped around and couldn't get her out of gear. Set the parking brake, crawled under and manually shifted into park. Had to crawl under a few more times to get it out of the parking space and pointed towards the highway again and then replaced the cable the next day. Happened again six months later!
