You don't say if this is an auto or manual trans but my first thought is the transmission interlock switch. In an automatic, this should be 2 wires that plug into the transmission.
The switch only allows power to go to the starter soleniod when the trans is in Park or Neutral. If the switch or circuit is damaged or interrupted, the soleniod will not receive power.
