I gotta find a sticky on automatic shifter adjustments and "if" it could relate to no start problem.

The thread is too long to read to gather the details, so here is the short answer:
1) If the starter won't engage but moving to neutral always works (that is, wait till next time and see) then OK, the switch in the SLA is flaky. (Do not send the stuff to MSS)
2) If the starter is engaging, it is not the Park switch, the Park switch must "make" in order for the starter to engage at all. (Probably time to send the stuff to MSS)
Resolve to get an answer to the two questions above before shipping that stuff to the MSS.
