Is it true that it might just be a spring in the shifter that's loose and I don't need to spend over $500 replacing the shifter?
Look where the key is, below that you will see a rubber plug. Take it out. Then stick something like a nail punch or something with a small point on it. When you put it in, you will feel a small plate. Push easy. Turn key and take it out.

Good luck
