740Turbo 1987 will start only by turning ignition key and jerking transmission selector from N to P simulaneously. Read on Brickboard it is easily fixed by "crawling under and adjusting the rod" - What rod could this be and how is it adjusted? Thanks!!

They're probably talking about the rod that goes from the lever on the bottom of the shifter to the lever on the transmission. However, first make sure the the engine and transmission mounts are in good shape (this makes sure the transmission is in the right place) and that the rubber/plastic bushings on that rod are also in good shape.
