Before you do anything know that the magnet that disengages the shift lever to allow you to get out of park has been known to get "gunked" up with various things. The week after I spilled a sonic slush in the VX dash I could at times not get it out of PARK AT ALL. Others have had the same issue after spilling a soft drink it the VX. I have pictures of the cleaning process on my computer I can upload them if you want, it is pretty simple once you take the center console apart, you can see the metal box that has the magnet in it pretty easily. Sometimes it can just get dirty eventually and start sticking.
