Problem with automatic shifter and start.

Problem with automatic shifter and start.
Ok I'm having a huge problem getting the shifter out of park. I have to jiggle it around before the button can be pushed and then I can put it into drive. Then after I put it into park again I can take it out easily but if the car sits in park for more than 5 min it will get stuck again. It's like when you don't hit the brake and your pushing the button I pump the brake but it doesnt work. Ok now I have this other dilemma with the start sometimes. I'll turn the key and get nothing not even a click. Then I put it into neutral and it starts sometimes. Sometimes it just turns too. Anyone know if that is the shifter or the key ignition. So my question is should I change the whole shifter? Is it easy to remove and replace? What to do? need help!

both are the same problem. There is a clutch interupt switch that keeps you from starting your car unless it is in Park/Neutral. It might be the actual switch on the gear selector. My gf's 94 Sentra has the same problem, but her switch was actually in good shape. I think her problem is the actual inhibitor itself, that is attached directly to the transmission and is a ~$80 part.
