Ok, so the I went to pick up my truck from the shop and it wouldn't start in park or neutral but would start in Reverse. The guy said that the sensor was bad and he would have to get a new one but wouldn't charge me for it. So before I go over there and call ******** on this guy I need to know if such a sensor exists. I'm guessing he just got the linkage screwed up and needs to straighten it out.

So what do you think?

I agree. Prob realizes he messed up and is trying to cover his ass. "Oh yeah its a sensor. Just being it on back we'll fix that but won't charge ya for it."

I say don't confront him about it and take it back. Let him fix it, keep his pride, and send ya on your way. If it continues having problems, raise hell

Truck is back and everything seems okay as far as the tranny goes. Now for the multitude of suspension and steering problems...
