This reply shows my shift cable adjustment, for starting in Park and Neutral.

Test the VTA alarm. Lock the vehicle w/ a window open, reach in, unlock the door then open the door. The lights should sound and the horns blink, or something like that. Assuming that happens, then those signals will indicate when the VTA has disabled the ignition.

If i barely bump the shifter it goes into reverse

Its only starting in neutral

I've tried to adjust the linkage and still nothing

I don't know if maybe i messed something up or what

Before i changed torque converter it shifted into all gears fine, went into park and started.
Please use normal sentences and normal capitalization.

Note, edits by wingless to improve readability.

The transmission was removed and replaced to permit swapping the torque converter.

On mine, when I bolted everything back into place, I had to readjust the shift cable, as-shown in my prior reply.

The shift cable moves the shift lever on the transmission. The rooster comb on that shaft activates the neutral safety switch when appropriate.

The cable must be adjusted to be just snug, w/o slop, when in Park.
