I have a 98 Boxster Tip with about 71K on the clock. It has been occasionally not starting in park but if I put it in neutral it will start. I believe that it is the Neutral Safety Switch, Does anyone know if the ability to start in neutral will degrade and it will leave me be by the side of the road someday. The $330 part doesn't bother me so much as the necessity to rip the majority of the car apart to get at the switch. Thanks for any and all help. Ed
