Under your shifter console there is a solenoid that is sticking. You can either replace the solenoid or unplug it. Unplugging it will make it so you don't have to hit the brakes to take it out of gear I believe. As long as you don't get stupid with it, you won't have any problems.

It's not hard to do, even if you're not mechanically inclined. Just get a knife/flathead screwdriver. Put the car in neutral, pry out the clip on the back of the shifter handle. Pull the handle off. Then use the flathead screwdriver to pop off the shifter cover. If you need any help let me know, especially if you're around southeast VA/northeast NC I could do it for you

thank you, my son read your posting and popped the shift **** right off, my problem apparently is in the **** itself, the parts inside are busted up not allowing the button to be pushed in, thank you all very much from Oklahoma.
