At least you aren't missing out on good top down weather.

Well she is back home in the stable, and all is right with the world (at least my corner of it).

CCClarke thanks for the info and write up. The tech and I found that 14 out of 30 attempts the shift lever would lock up and not move. Fortunately the problem is fixed and I got a new shift cable (snapped during repair) in the process, total bill to GM was $756.00 not including a 2 day rental.

What a great explanation! When my DSC didn't work, the dealer replaced the entire shift component, surrounding the shift lever. The problem was a broken switch. I kept the replaced part, just to understand how it all worked and what was going on "under the covers". This writeup exactly describes how this all works. Are you a tech writer, perchance? Excellent job.
