column shift or floor shift . there is a second cable from the front of the console shifters that needs to be adjusted . there is a way to remove the top cover around the console shifter to get at it . same type of adjuster was used on throttle valve cable casings for the transmissions . must push out a ~ block and pull the casing slightly then push the block back in . i used to have the instructions on just how to perfectly adjust it . if you have a column shift . there is an adjust for that also . sometimes the solenoid and cable get wedged . if your key will only come out by disconnecting the battery . its the shifter interlock . and i don ' t have any info handy on how to handle that . yet . i will look around later tonight and perhaps thursday . into brain fade now . need some sleep . or i would be right on it .
