Another "No Crank" story

I had the same "no crank" symptoms as Monterrey and others on the board: intermittent, random "no crank" when the engine was warm. 2000 2.3lpt wagon. Sometimes, but not always, "rowing" the gear selector or grinding the selector between N and D with the ignition in "start" would get the car to crank. The problem actually disappeared over the summer, with no "no crank"s for several months. The dealer had had it a time or two, but of course the problem never occured then.
Recently the problem returned with a vengeance, happening a half-dozen times over four days and making me late for work twice. Enough! Found a car I could borrow, drove the wagon to the dealer and left it. And of course, it started just fine... argh! They were about to just shotgun it and replace a few things, when lo and behold as they went to drive the car into the bay... no crank!
Diagnosis: neutral position switch. Here's what the report said (sic):
CAUSE: 1 5256060 NEUTRALPOSSSWITC
...
75377 NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ERRATIC 1.0 SCANNED FOR CODES WITH TECH-2 AND PULLED DIAG TROUBLE CODES P0705 REPLACED THE ERRATIC \ OPERTAING NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH OK AFTER REPAIR
The best part? Since I'd reported the problem (even unreproduced) under CPO warranty, they still covered it! Of course, I paid them almost $500 for other stuff (mostly for an ACC heater link arm breakage) so I guess they were feeling charitable. :-)
