The shift selector arm is broke or a pin is loose? Not allowing me to turn the ignition. Sometimes I can move the lever and get the key to turn....how do I fix this issue?

 

l don't have a pic handy but look under the dash and wiggle the shifter, you'll probably notice a couple bolts loose up there. Have a light under with you

 

Will try that in the morning!!! Thanks...

 

Yeah.. and those pesky bolts, they are star headed ones too! LOL!

 

yeah mine did the same thing, guy didnt tell me that when i bought it and stopped at a gas station to find out it wouldnt start, finally got it by putting it in nuetral, there are two gold bolts under there that had backed out, they are torx-30

 

.......................

These shouldn't have any affect on the ignition though

 

But unlike a 5-speed, there's some link between the shifter and the ignition lock. Evidently that's what's hosed.

 

Thanks guys, I am back in business....

 

... and it was ...

 

The screws had me hostage....lol

 

Nice! My column shift has been starting to get loose. I figured I'd have to rebuild the column. This is a great & timely thread.

Thanks guys !!!!!
