Yes that's correct. The neutral safety switch is specifically to prevent a trigger of the starter circuit when the trans is not in neutral or park. So cycling thru the gears if the switch is stuck could free it up to where you get it to make contact in the correct position and thus start the engine. Pretty sure we're on the same page there.

Not denying there is an issue with the trans, but nothing in the mechanical workings of the trans would prevent the electric starter from working, to my knowledge. Cycling thru gears with the engine off means no turning fluid pump, so the only thing you would be doing is cycling the neutral safety switch. As to randomly not starting with no remote circuit, if the solenoids clicks but the starter doesn't engage and spin, probably a starter. This just happened to me last week. Replaced starter and everything is ok. Also replaced the battery first since I thought it was low voltage, but that didn't do it. Good thing I was only 2 years into my 3 year warranty. I like free batteries
Just changed the fluid in the transmission and seems like everythings working fine again.
