Answer
Tim,

I do not know the year or model of your car.  But, it is the neutral safety switch that is either out of adjustment like the bushing on the shift linkage, at the transmission, being worn out or the neutral safety switch itself needs to be replaced.  Get a Haynes Manual and it will describe how to adjust it and if it needs replacement it will show you how to do that too.  rockauto.com, autopartswarehouse.com or the like are good sources to get the part for much less than the dealer.  This is a dealer item or it will have to be ordered if it is bad.
