Shift Lever Solenoid????

My Z28 (95) Lt1 has recently been giving me problems shifting out of park. Once out of park it shifts easily through the other gears. Is this due to a faulty Shift lever solenoid? If so how easy is replacement and where might I find instructions on how to check and replace if neccessary?

Since I'm browsing this section I'll bump your thread to the top again to see if someone will/can answer your question.

I'll take a stab it this. I had an 85 Firebird w/ an auto..

Take the shift boot off and snoop around.. I believe the button is connected to a rod that releases the shifter from the park position.

EDIT: Wait. You can take the shift **** off with a flat screwdriver by popping the hose-shoe clip toward the front that holds it down, FWIW... There's a rod that goes down thru the shift LEVER that controls the lock underneath.

Again, not exactly sure. I'm pretty sure that's the only thing that prevents it from going into/out of park.
