Subject:      Attention Auto Trans Owners!

Hello Folks,
      I need a favor from someone familiar with the automatic trans. Last Sunday when leaving Everybus, my '84 wouldn't start. Turn the key and got warning lights, but starter would not engage. It finally started, and through several restarts that day it was fine. Now that's it's home, it won't start again, same symptoms. Got out the Bentley, and on page 37.2 it shows the neutral/park/backup light contact bridge, and the neutral/park/backup light contact plate, which has contacts facing toward the shift lever. Now, on my shift lever I have only a square hole, no contact bridge as pictured. I am assuming it fell out, and if so it must have disintegrated, cause I can't find it anywhere. Could someone verify I am on the right track here, I am pretty sure that I am. Now, if I need this part, anyone know where I can find it? Bus Depot? Dealer(last resort)? Thanks!    Jeff
