My car is stuck in reverse and the car will not start with it in reverse. What can I do to get it back in park?

This is electronically controlled system that uses an shift cable actuator to move the cable which is attached to the transmission. It sounds like the actuator is out but to be sure lets disconnect the shift cable from the transmission. Once that is done try to put the car in gear to see if the cable moves. Here are diagrams below to help you with how the system works:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

Car won't shift out of reverse. Shifter moves, but no gear change. Car starts, then feels as though shifting into reverse on its own. I thought it shouldn't start in reverse, but it won't go into park before turning it off. Still starts right up. Please help!
