OD acting up 700 1987

My 740 has a manual tranny with a push button OD. The 5th gear won't kick in until the car has been running for 30+ minutes, and then the shift lever must be pushed right for the light to come on, and 5th to engage. I only found vague mention of this problem in the FAQ's and archives. Should I be looking at a "contact switch" (on the transmission) adjustment or replacement(is this the same as a pressure switch as mentioned in Chiltons?) , or a worn wire? Or something else?
Thanks for your time.
