81 300SD Could it be the neutral safety switch?

First time in 34 years my SD will not start. I get no click like a bad starter solenoid or bad battery. Just no starter action; I hear one clink over by the glove compartment and that is all - no other noise at all.

I think the shifter bushings are pretty worn because I have to shift it from park to drive, then slip the shifter backwards and back up to Drive before it knows it is in Drive. And it sits and thinks a few seconds before it recognizes that it is back in Park. So worn shifter bushings which I hear are a bear to replace. So I have just been jiggling the shifter into gear.

But now no start. Does this sound like NSS? I read a thread about replacing it on a 124 and with no lift am not sure I want to do it myself.

Isn't there a way to jump the NSS or pass it by? Otherwise what do I do? Could it be something else? Would trying to jump it with my Land Rover do any good?

Thx.
