Electrical issue

Im not sure where to start.
Many times truck just click when i turn the key. I do have some slack in the shifter even though the plate under the dash is tight. Ive checked it several times. I have to keep moving the shifter until it finally turns over. Im talking moving centimeters not a lot. And it wont start if I put it in neutral while this is happening.

Might be time to replace the range sensor on the transmission (Does it go by another name? I cant remember, someone else chime in?) I don't think they have an adjustment.

Nah, they have another name for it. I think its MLPS? Only because its more than a neutral safety switch.
