I don't know how to fix it perse, but we ran into the problem in my roommate's 98 SL2 where it was sticking and locking the key in the ignition. The problem was the actual mechanism where the shift lock connects to the gear shift was stuck or malaligned or something, if you pull out the cupholder and wiggle on it it seems to unstick it. I'm thinking a good cleaning should hopefully fix it permanently. I'm not even sure where to buy a replacement interlock.

How do you change the transmission shift switch on a 1998 Saturn SL2 with an automatic transmission?
The Neutral safety switch is located on the back of the automatic transmission. it is quite simple to replace. It is probably easier to replace from under the vehicle, but it is accessable from the top if your vehicle is not equipped with ABS.
How does the Shift lock work?
The automatic brake shift interlock by-pass instructions are in the owners manuel for the 1998's, roughly page 104-106. Check your brake lights, if they are not working and car will not shift out of park, the brake interlock switch needs replacing.

Check the stop lights - shift interlock is usually the same circuit - check fuse Move the ignition switch to 1st position (unlock) with engine off - then shift to neutral to start vehicle and then you will be able to shift to "D or R"
