nuetral safety switch/ transmission question

[nunezm08]

What’s the rod called that you place a neutral safety switch on? I have some play on that rod, and am worried my tranny has to be torn apart. My car starts in drive, regardless of what gear I put it in.

just off the top of me’ noggin’, I believe the part in question could be referred to as “neutral safety switch linkage.”

I kinda doubt a rebuild is needed. Replace the switch, and the play should be gone. Starting in any gear other than park or neutral indicates the switch is bad or needs adjustment on older cars.

How would I go about checking for alignment of the NSS?
