i bought my truck (87 ranger, 2.9) with no engine and junk a4ld trans. i pulled the trans and put in a new engine (also 87 2.9) and a new trans, fm145 manual. i unplugged the jumper from the clutch safety switch plug and plugged it into the appropriate switch on the clutch but it still wont start. if i turn on the key and jump the solenoid with a screwdriver it will start and run fine. so what am i missing (safety switch for the auto trans maybe?) or should i try putting the clutch switch jumper back in? i really want that switch to work properly...
