tranny indicator

[lee]

My transmission is working fine (knock on wood - even though I don't believe in superstition). But today the dash indicator decided to stay in park. It moves on the console when I move the shift lever, and everything shifts fine, the inhibitor works, etc - just the dash issue. Is this an electronic or mechanical link?

If its a big cost I'll just live with it, but it bothers me a fair amount 'cause everytime I look down to check speed, etc., my eyes are drawn to it.
