The button your referring too is a reverse interlock. It's a mechanical lever that when you lift it it pulls out of a slot or groove. If you are a bit mechanically inclined you can remove the lever arm or somehow secure it up off the groove. Now as far as a replacement shifter unfortunately many of the new shifters are manufacture unique installation. The old days of screwing it off are gone. You can tear into it to see what your up against or search if any aftermarket company has one. Maybe someone from overseas can chime in. That's the best I can offer for advice. Goid luck in your decision.
