you are half right,the actual problem with the shifter assemblies is not the shifter itself, it is a micro switch inside the assembly that lets the interlock know it is in park.BUT i dont think you can get the micro switch seperate from the shifter assembly.the other common problem with the key being stuck is a faulty key tumbler.
hope this helps............Don |

Listen.
You can take apart/off the center console (HUGE pain in the ass) and you WILL see, after staring at it and studying it for a few minutes, the mechanism that keeps the shifter in place, locked. There are little tiny micr-switches that do this.
YOU CAN buy it at Radio Shack, I found this out after the EXACT same thing and a LOT of stressing.
FOR NOW. You can manually move the pin that keeps the shifter in place. |

Ohh I forgot to mention.. If you disconnect the battery then the key goes in and out no problem... I think it is probally the micro switches on the shifter. |
