1955 t-bird automatic not starting after driving

[Clous]

After driving my car for 45min. I turn it off then I could not start it up again until I moved the shifter a couple of times, and finally it started up. Is this a transmission issue? Any info will help. I moved it around within the neutral position then it finally started.

There's a neutral safety switch above the transmission that won't allow the car to start unless it's adjusted properly to ensure the car is in neutral. A little difficult to get to, but not horribly.

That's it toward the bottom right of the pic

sounds like the neutral safety switch is worn or out of adjustment

What’s the best way to get to it ? And how do I adjust it?
