Well I have been through just about everything with my 99 D1 transmission shifter. I have replaced switches and the little nub works like it should and retracts when you touch the brake. I have to realy yank hard for it to shift out of park (ratchet catcch clearly free of cog). once it is out it works between gears without effort as it should. When I look at it when shifting its like it is binding. Is there a cable that hooks in to the interior shifter mechanism that should be replaced or lubed. Of the two shafts that stick into the back of the interior shifter the smaller of the two appears to be binding.

on a different note what kind of grease lubricant is uttilized in the shifter shaft that releases the saftey cog somtimes the button gets sticky.
