Default shift **** microswitch?

After shifting to park my 98 S70 and turning off the engine, I would have to occasionaly nudge the shift **** forward so I could get the keys out. Could this be the microswitch going bad or do I need to adjust something?

The shift **** is either sticky or Breaking and coming apart.

How do I go about taking it apart to see if it repairable. Perhaps I just need to lubricate or tighten something. The slight push or nudge of the **** is very slight. I would say maybe an 1/8" distance.

Look at the button on the shift ****. On the top you should see where it swivels. The **** is known to break there. You can try lubing it.

Or remove the shiftknob and spray some lube in there and reinstall.
