GC: Park:No Start, Neutral: Start

'99 GC 4x4 4.0L, 117K.

Had the car about a month. Got a call last night from my daughter saying the car wouldn't start. The battery was fine (its new), but the starter would not engage in PARK. I slipped the car into NEUTRAL and the car started.

Seems to be the switch which controls PARK/NEUTRAL only starter engagement. Thoughts appreciated on solution (clean, adjust, replace?).

Thanks Chip L

Sounds like the neutral Safety switch.

You probably have the 42re transmission in a '99 4 liter and the part is fairly cheap (

They can go out of adjustment, but if they use a physical linkage, then I would look close at the engine mounts and tranny mount before adjusting.
