It was foor the neutral start. Now you can start in all gears. Basically you have one for a manual eagle.

that is not a good thing then i have a bad habit of not getting the car all the way into gear as the linkage needs a slight adjustment. now to just remember to adjust it. oh and thanks mudkicker.

I suggest getting the correct one then.  They should have asked you when you bought it if which transmission you have.
