Neutral Safety Switch and Transmission ??

[graycenphil]

Great forum. '82 300SD, starts (cranks) in Neutral but not in Park, so I assume it is the NSS. First of all, am I right?

Second question: on the parts section, there are two NSS's, for two different transmissions. Is there an easy way to tell which one I have?

Also, will starting it in neutral be an adequate short term solution, or will it quickly degrade to not starting at all?

Thanks.
