For the first question, if it's not holding then take the drum cover off and and get in there and find out why it's not's holding. Get a manual and figure it out.
As for the second question, even if you could, why would want to do it? Great for fishtails but try parking in an incline again. You'll effecivlely lose all use of it.

thats tru if i do park on an incline but i would rig it so i could just put something under it to keep it engaged, but that would be a pain in the ass, guess i wont be able to park on an incline:D

Here's a cheap solution, use lots of masking tape to hold the button down.
