The " little round keyhole" comes off so the shifter mechanism can be shifted out of gear without a key in the event the car needs to be towed or if the mechanism becomes "jammed". A small screwdrver or similar tool is pushed down through the opening to release the shifter so it can be moved.
All is well.

Thanx Datsun,
But it WAS shifted manually with the handle, and the light INSTANTLY jumps back to D the moment you shift, no short period of time involved (the light SHOULD go to the next number the moment you shift).
What you are describing happens just as it is supposed to, when using the PADDLES.
