Ok I have a lentech trans... My car wouldn't shift out of gear so I get my car home, turn it off, jack it up, and notice that the shifter cable popped off. I put the cable back on and still can't start my car. I guess it won't start because it's in gear, so I take the cable off and manually flip the lever on the trans to put it in park, and still can't start my car. Any idea's would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Neutral start switch is your problem. The starter won't crank with the key unless the trans is in neutral. Pull the small push on connector (red wire) off the starter relay (Looks like it is stuck on a screw) and jump it to the terminal that is connected to the battery. If it starts, the relay is good and your problem is in the rest of the circuit.

See Tmoss's diagram if it attaches...
