First guess is that the transmission linkage is worn and the neutral

the battery, jump across the switch and try and start the car.

Yes, most of the starting circuit is by-passed when you start it from

How is this chrome strip held on. I don't want to bend it if you have to go
from the inside.

The strip has to come off, at least partway.

The other thing is to
change you transmission oil and filter with something like Mobile 1 at the
prescribed times. If you do this I would guess that the transmission should
last about as long as the engine.
