My Sierra and Vit both do that - both started doing it at well over 300,000km so i figured it was just a sign of parts being past their use-by.

I too am curious of a solution.

My first one had that issue. Then my white softy developed the issue.

A new cluster fixed it.

I took mine apart this arvo and had a play around. Lubed everything up etc.

It's a pretty poor design. When you push the button down it's not in the middle, so the little assembly goes down crooked and jams up on the guide posts... I removed one of the return springs which helped make it track straighter and jam less (and its easier to push now too) however a quick test drive shows that while the button is now easier to push it's still jamming.

I have found that moving helps it reset. I reset mine on the way out of the petrol station. At the pump it will be jammed but a few hundred metres down the road it will tick over first go.
