Ok guys here is what I have found. when I shut car off sometime key comes right out. When it doesn't I shift thru gears from Park to drive back to Park and key comes right out. So what are your thoughts. I just wd the linkage on the transmission. Car sat for 7 years before I got it....Have to love Projects cars, as Drive shaft U-joint fell out of it lastnight taking it a for a rip...hahah

my thought is to read the last 3 or 5 posts....

These 2 things should have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Clutch and I found that out the hard way on his Square Body. It's even more fun when the parts stores have non-tilt- switches in tilt boxes!!!!

that's what happened to me and no refunds as it was electrical and had been installed. i think i will just rebuild the whole column. there was a leak around the t tops, they didn't close it all the way and the snow dripped on the column. what other years would fit this 1980 cutlass calais?

Mine turns, and as you stated I need to turn it by hand like 1/4 inch. Then my key comes right out.

Red circle is where to make your adjustment on the linkage.

Also check at the top of the linkage rod. There should be a nylon bushing inside the rubber grommet, If that was ever apart there is a chance its missing.

How hard is that to adjust in the car? from top side or bottom side of car?
