I have a 2006 that this has happened to twice. There is a bushing on the bottom of the Shifter cable that broke on mine that actually connects to an arm on the transmission. Unfortunately I had to buy the whole cable itself just to get the plastic bushing, but it slips on the end of the cable. This may be what is wrong with yours.
