Broken automatic transmission gear selector cable.
How common is this?
I cannot say I've seen many / any threads on this.
Other than age, any known culprits that cause this to happen?

Should have mentioned this in the OP - this is Todd's read car (see my sig) and he's looking at options to improve on the design.
That is unless this is such a rare occurrence, no reason to bother.

The lower boot decays and sand and grit can get into the metal sleeve and jam it. That happened on one of the rescue cars. Cable not salvageable.
One other note, the S4 4spd cable is slightly longer than the earlier 4 spd cables, by just a tad, because the S4 TC is a bit bigger diameter.

OTOH, it did last 26 years, so I won't need another until 2036...
