This will be added to the FAQ soon. Until then, try this from "darius":

"The problem is with the shift position switch itself - the white box
on the right side of the shift lever. You'll notice that the contacts
are suspended by springs, and that there is also a spring loaded ball
in a sleve. Those parts are lubricated with grease, but over time the
grease gets hard and prevents free movement of these components.

"So just take the switch apart, clean the parts and reapply some fresh
grease. Just make sure you align the switch and shift lever properly
when reinstalling - the ball will rest in the groove in the switch
when the lever is in Neutral."
