push button starter question

[littlja]

i installed a push button starter - i turn the key, push the button, she starts but i cant shift into gear - i'm locked out -

i am not using the neutral safetey switch at all - i ran a jumper wire between the connectors on the NSS but still the same

with the engine off i can turn the key into the "1st" position and shift all day long

but once the key is in the "2nd" or farthest position before you have to apply pressure for cranking can't shift

what should i do to get the column to unlock the shifter when in the 2nd position?

thx u geniouses!!!
