j gate shifter stuck.

It will go from D to the left hand (manual shifting) side, and from D to N, but it won't go from N to P or R.
I really hate to get a new j gate when it's probably just some cheap part stuck, dislodged, or dirty - and therefore not connecting.
ARGGHH!
What to do?
I've done the reboot thing by unhooking the battery for the night. I've checked all fuses. I've checked the two bolts under the transmission.
Could it be the interlock switch or the footbrake switch? And if so how do you replace them?

I recall a recent thread concerning this common problem. The fix was to inspect the underside of the car, paying attention to the fasteners which secure the shift linkage. Seems that bolts self-loosen, and back off causing this sticky shift condition. The Forum Member tightened the nuts and bolts and sped off! Good luck and please report back.
