960 won't shift into 1st gear when hot 900 1994

Dear The Rod,

Hope you're well and stay so. I'm puzzled: why would anyone try to start a car, with the shifter not in "park" or "neutral"?

The Aisin-Warner trannies used in 940s and 960s, have a ignition interlock cable, that is supposed to prevent the car being started in other than "park" or "neutral". That cable may need adjustment.

That said, because the car starts in second gear, the "neutral safety switch" (#9130295) likely has failed. I believe Volvo no longer supplies this part. But some have opened-up the switch, cleaned the contacts, and restored functionality.

See the FAQs for guidance as how to access the neutral safety switch.

The "kick-down" cable doesn't play a role in start-up.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
