ok so broke the NSS had to call Roger to come to the rescue with his extra from his old XJ. We couldnt get that one apart because the phillips heads were rusted and stripping out. so I slapped it on and she shifts fine. So this rules out the NSS. Paul thinks its in the ignition someweres, and I agree, but I'm going the lazy route and making a push button starter. Any suggestions of how I should wire it? Inline fuse etc?? yada yada. What a night. So for now I have to jump the starter everytime I want to go anywere. What a PITA!!!
