Shifter/Starting Issue?
My 1985 Silverado with automatic trans will not start unless I can find the perfect sweet spot in the gear shifter's range of motion. If I just put it in park or neutral like you normally would it will not start. Turn the key and nothing at all, no clicks, the choke light on the dash does not come on, nothing. Now if I fiddle with the gear shifter for about ten or fifteen minutes popping it in between all the gears and finding just the perfect spot somewhere near "park," it will crank like a champ. The choke light will come on and it acts totally normal. If I were to bump the shifter out of that fragile perfect position it won't crank at all. What's going on with this ol' girl? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
