Exclamation 97 Cherokee won't start in park

My 97 Cherokee sport occasionally won't start when in park. If I place in nuetral, starts right up. I read something about a neutral sensor switch. Should I try and repair or just live with it? Thanks!

if your mechanically inclined its much cheaper to repair it than replace it and takes less than a hour.

There are a couple good write ups on how to clean and re-assemble them but if you want to get a new one I purchased one from here
it was about $54 or so with shipping.
