nuetral

So has anyone actually gained any neutral shift improvement by performing the shift adjustment shown in the Venture Service Handbook? It says it helps to take a vise grips and bend the shifter shaft spring tab. Should I try this on the Max? I experience a tough time locating it once the engine...

My 2000 will only start in nuetral if the green lite is on. I am unable to start it in gear with the clutch in or when it is in nuetral but the light is not on. Please offer a fix as it would be a pain in the butt if I stalled in traffic and had to find nuetral, etc. Thanks.
