Any suggestions on lubricating the cable from inside the car? I have the center console off and the gear indicator unscrewed.

What is the purpose of the limit switch on the gear selector? It looks like it is only depressed when the lever is in park.
Yes you are getting this right.

However there is no limit switch as such. A simple mechanical trigger prevents the inadvertent movement of the lever from the park position and therefore works as a safety catch and it should be operating freely.
