Rudy wouldn't start up last night... First the shifting problem and then he wouldn't start. I gotta get this figured out! I just got his transmission done maybe 6 months ago at the most. Wtf! Someone help me please I can't let him for!​

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
It sounds to me like you have some shifter linkage that needs adjusting. That could also affect the neutral safety switch and prevent you from starting the engine.

by the way. It would have been better to just add this to your original thread. That keeps all the info in one place so we know what you’re talking about.
