Thanks for the reply Scrapper, but the starter is verified good. The issue is undoubtedly with the used installed tranny. Either something is not hooked right or the neutral sensor electronics in the used tranny are not up to snuff.

What I'd give to know for sure. 4+ months and counting on this should've been basic R&R.

One thing that seemed slightly different to me. When I got in and tried to start it, the shifter wasn't quite as smooth as it always has been before. I don't want to say it is binding, but the shifter used to almost glide through the gears manually form P to R to N and so on. Now it feels like there is a slight bit of unfluidness. Makes me wonder if it was put in correctly down below on the tranny. Although on the tranny, it is just a pivot post that holds the trans range shifter cable. So not sure about that.

We had the top plug (neutral safety switch electronics) unplugged, but not sure if we tried starting it like that.
