The collum shift on the TH350 in my truck was giving me problems, it was hard to shift, and didn't want to go into 2nd or 1st gear when i tried to manually shift it. So, i bought a can of WD40, and i sprayed it on most of the moving parts of the shift linkage. I worked the shifter through the gears a few times, and it feels a little bit better. Then i go to drive the truck, and it won't start. All the electrical system works, battery is fully charged, but it won't crank. I am guessing that this is because i must have done something to the neutral safety switch when i was messing with the shift linkage. Where is the neurtal saftey switch located? If the switch is bad, how would i bypass it?
