Hi all,
i have a Hyster S120XLS that has a mind of it's own.
Some days it will start right up. other days, it will just click when you turn the key.. then there's the days you have to turn and hold the key and move from forward to reverse to neutral in order for it to start...
i guessing it has a bad neutral safety switch??
so i guess my question is where i might find it? i traced the shifter linkage down to what looks like a valve body sitting on top of the trans but didnt see a switch.
any help or comments on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

thanks for your time

tony
