afaik, the neutral safety switch is on the shifter so if that wasnt messed with, i doubt thats the problem.
When you say you get a click every now and then makes me think its more an igniton connection or switch issue

it is common to remove check balls when installing a shift kit. they are there to prevent or restrict fluid flow to certain parts of the valve body to help soften the shifts.
if you can drop the pan, check to make sure the shifter arm is catching the plunger inside the trans. it is easy to overlook, evil90ss and i found out the hardway once. lol

Glad to see it worked out. Are those starters hard to replace in the 3rd gens?

Starters in a stock third gen are pretty easy to swap. Some headers make them more difficult, but most aren't bad at all.

Just replaced the starter in my 88TA a short time ago. The only tricky part is dropping the passenger side pipe so you have enough room to remove the starter. Make sure you have a multi joint for your sockets so that you can loosen the bolt holding the retaining bar in front of the starter. The bolt is at a wierd angle on the engine block.

I tried doing that, stopping short of banging the pipe with a hammer to get it out of the way. Even with the car up on stands, the starter wouldn't clear the pipe / control arm. I've heard the LT1 starters are smaller, and can bolt up to 3rd gens, so they might come out easier. But I definately had to drop the pipe to get mine out.
