Detent for Shift Lever.

I have a 2000 Intrigue that has a problem with the shift lever detent.
The Problem= I can pull the shift lever back from P thru R & N into D without using the detent release button on the side of the shift knob. This is a safety issue when the detent lockout fails to detent.
Pushing the lever in the other direction (forward); the detent works from D to N and is OK, by not allowing the lever to move into R position.
Does this sound like a mechanical problem only? Maybe wear on a pin or detent surface?
Thanks for any replies.
