I am only asking a second opinion because it is not on my rig. '96 jx classic occasionaly won't start in park, but will if you jiggle the shifter, of pu t it in neutral.

GREAT write-up, thanks! In addition to my having to jiggle the tranny shifter occasionally when starting, I just found out last night that my backup lights aren't working. This should kill two birds with one stone. My Saturday project is now set in stone.
Just a warning. Dont break the NSS trying to pry it off. Remember it has to come straight off the shaft. A wide blade hunting knife worked great for me. Slip it behind the NSS and twist back and forth. The wide base disperses the pressure to help prevent snapping the NSS.

I used a putty knife and it worked great. No problems since. My symptoms were only loss of backup lights, no not starting problems. Just goes to show that each XJ is different. Good Luck.
