Default Reverse Light Only Comes on When I press the shifter.

Hello,

I have a 5 speed 1998 S70 T-5 and would like to know how to fix this problem.
The reverse light will only come on if I keep pressure on the shifter in reverse, if
I don't it will not light up. Is it the (PNP) switch.Park Nuetral?

What do I need to fix it? New parts and tools? Where can I get it?

Thanks

It is a manual transmission car correct?
If so there is a contact switch that might be going bad.
