Gearstick switch adjustment ... '85 MX73 Cressida

As you would know, the gear stick must be in park or neutral before the engine will ignite. My problem is that the switch that senses the position of the gearstick appears out of adjustment because I often have to "pull and shove" the stick before ignition happens.
Is there a switch? How do I access it, from beneath the car or down through the internal panels etc? Are there any tricks to fixing this? Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks...

Great, thanks for the reply. Does this mean the lever, bar, switch are all visible without there being a need to remove access covers or anything like that?

Yes, it's all done from underneath. No need to rip out any centre console bits inside.

Well I finally got under the car to check this out but I got worried. By adjusting the position of the lever on the bar using the slotted hole, the position of the switch actuator would move (which is what I want) but I worried the transmission would be affected as well. I worry that this might cause slippage or other transmission problems.
I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and get out the spanner, see what happens!

There is a little 1/4pie shaped thing under there.
Adjust it with that instead.
Undo the little bolt, move it a few degrees.
