Gear selector release broken
The gear selector release (not the O/D button, the big one) on my 1995 GLE isn't working correctly. Sometimes it just won't let me push it in. I haven't found out any real pattern to it, if I keep trying the button it will eventually let me push it in, but it takes a while.
I've tried parking with my parking brake, no parking brake, pointing uphill, pointing downhill, etc and can't find any real pattern in what makes it do this. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

How hard are these to replace if I decide to go that route?

So you think it's the brake interlock? I may try and disconnect it if the weather is decent this weekend and see if it makes a difference.
