Fellow BlueBird with a Problem with Tranny

[davidkerryedwards]

Why can't he stop for fuel? Is it because it won't start again
because it is in drive? If so, a remote starter switch attached to
the starter could overcome that problem or the neutral safety switch
could be disconnected or jumped. In either case, he would need to
be careful when starting it in drive.
Are there any other symptoms? Does the squeeze lever on the shifter
still function or is there evidence it is stuck or disconnected?
