sorry if this sounds obvious, but i had to show this to lackey at the tire shop the other day. you have to push the key in while turning left to get it outta the ignition.
if thats not it then i don't know. i don't know what could possible be grabbing onto the key while it has power.

are u sure its not the weight on the steering wheel? like when it gets stuck, try turning the wheel left and right while pulling the key out the usual way..?

There is your problem, in the auto's there is a sensor that wont let you take the key out unless the car is in park. Since you no longer have park, it won't let you take it out.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 2ndchirp »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">yes we tried turnin the key..it has always worked fine...it just happened recently after swapin the automatic trans for a 5speed</TD></TR></TABLE>

Good think I caught this thread, I might have totally missed this when I do my swap this easter. What has to be done to prevent this?
