A park inhibit solenoid system comprising:
- a bracket, at least a portion of said bracket being generally u-shaped with a downwardly oriented opening;
- a generally u-shaped follower at least partially received in said opening in said bracket and extendable therefrom, said follower having portions defining a notch in a wall thereof;
- a solenoid;
- a roller coupled to said solenoid, whereby upon energization of said solenoid said roller is forced into said notch.

An electronic transmission range selection (ETRS) system for shifting a transmission range of a vehicle transmission system comprising:
- a vehicle transmission;
- an electronic transmission range selection (ETRS) system coupled to said transmission for placing said transmission in any of a plurality of modes selected through a user interface;
- a park inhibit solenoid system comprising
- bracket, at least a portion of said bracket being generally u-shaped with a downwardly oriented opening;
- a generally u-shaped follower at least partially received in said opening in said bracket and extendable therefrom, said follower having portions defining a notch in a wall thereof;
- a solenoid;
