I have a 97 catera, and since i've had it the "S" button on the gear shift has been stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Is it physically stuck, or will the light just stay on? If its physically stuck, try some compressed air around the button, or use a safety pin and scrape it around in the crack. Probobly just gum/finger wax/any other nasty substance that was on someones hand. It happens with video game controllers too.

You could also spray a little WD 40 around the crack and let it soak in for a while. Won't hurt a thing. After a bit, try to work the button around the edge.
