This is a great idea there man,But remember this setup wont last long,due to the fact the friction overcome everything.Endless spring breaks.Did you know that shifting gears from 1 to 5 Is a lot of strain on the setup you have.My uncle said to me use a 12v lazer set up across the gearstick.When the lazer light brakes,power will be restored to the relay to work the remote start.

If you do use a lazer you would actually need to put two sets so that the signal will break if it's in gear right.  If you only have one to detect if there's an obstruction by the shifter in neutral it could be a problem if something else got in the way like trash or a bad lazer right.  Have you looked into this?  I wonder how reliable and expencive they can be.

The gear shift lever isn't grounded because the factory isolates it from the surrounding metal (transmission, floor pan, etc.) with rubber or teflon insulators so vibration and road noise isn't transmitted up the shifter and into the car.  Another reason they do this is to minumize wear on the hard parts (the ball on the end of the shifter lever and the receiving "cup" in transmission).  If you've ever driven an old Toyota pickup truck you probably have noticed the shifter has a LOT of play.  This is mostly due to the teflon insulator being worn out, replacement will almost perfectly restore shifter feel.  Theres no special voodoo reason the shifter isn't grounded, its just not grounded as a by-product of design.

I talked to my electronics professor today and he was thinking that maybe a limit switch or a magnetic reed switch would work.  Then I realized that the best way would probably be to imitate the mechanism of a car that has a neutral position wire. 

Does anyone know how a neutral position switch/wire works on a car that comes with it?  I think I remeber driving my friends ford focus and it displayed the gear the car was in.
