Thanks for the tips. It looks like iut was an adjustment, or the selector piece on the switch was out of place with the selector on the transmission.
I pulled the switch apart and it was incredibly clean inside. I was amazed with something that is on the exterier of the car, there was a nice rubber gasket sealing it. While appart I could see what connections it made and it tested good.
Put it together and back on the car, snug, hoping for the best, fearing the worst.
It worked, tightened it up, retest still good.
Last things for inspection are rear muffler, have a straight pipe as the muffler broke right at the weld. Its still really quite, but the shop is giving me a hard time. Much quiter than the owners 50's chevy and employees 4X4 trucks. Have a bosel muffler on order with Advance Auto Parts - online $115, found a $40 off $100 coupon.
Supporting joints are on the way also.
Looks like I will need to go about 3K Miles on Veggie to get even.
