Check the adjustment of the shift lever to the transmission. G:05:02 You could also have a wiring problem. Make sure the wires going to the transmission from the plug on the firewall are securely fastened and are not melted by the exhaust pipe. It is rare but possible you have a problem with the start inhibit relay or it's wiring. M:07:02 #28 This relay allows you to only engage the starter in Park or Neutral. It could be a sticking switch in the transmission itself. It is a two part switch, one part lights the back-up light, the other is the start switch. The vin change in the shift handle should not cause this problem so there is no reason to change it.
