This still should have a mechanical reverse lock out solenoid though I don't know the specifics of later shifters.
Hopefully the parking brake is being used on this car. For cars in general, I've seen trans cases / parking pawls broken , shifters / internal linkage damaged through non parking brake use. The lack of drivers using parking brakes has gotten so frequent that they are starting to use auto parking brake apply systems.
I cite SAE Parking brake use study 2013-01-0199 published 04-08-2013 . it states that only 16 % of automatic trans drivers always use a parking brake while 74% of manual trans drivers do so. These numbers were generated with an online survey and backed up with a visual inspection of random cars.
