I had gone out and tried to start my car ... will start in neutral and in ANY GEAR with me standing outside the car turning the key... Don't try that at home.... or at least not with the car Pointed at your home....

That's probably just what it's for on the 240, makes since (I don't have a running 240 to test it on.)
Most cars use a clutch safety switch, not allowing the starter to engage unless the clutch is in so that's how I hooked up the auto trans neutral safety switch wiring (to the NO switch at the clutch pedal) on my conversion.
