i was wondering if anybody in here has done this swap if so how do you get your ignition key out when you turn the car off? or what do i need to get so that i can take my key out when i turn off my car and advice or help would be greatly appreicated.
What are you asking? There should be no difference whether or not you have the 5 speed or the auto tranny when it comes to your ignition. Why would you spend the money to convert anyway? Sell your car and purchase a 5 speed it will be much easier and cheaper in the long run.

the conversion is already done with i just have to figure out how to get the key out due to the fact that the car still thinks that its in drive from the automatic if that helps any at all
this was posted a long time ago but if you havent figured it out yet i believe you go from where the atx shifter is and follow the cable to your ignition...it needs to be held shut to allow the key to come out
If you pull cover off that surrounds the steering column near the steering wheel, you will see a gray plug harness that plugs into the bottom of the ignition switch. Unplug it and your keys will come out. I think there are 2 wires that go into the small plug harness. I have done the conversion but have yet to get reverse lights or cruise control to work. I had someone send me a sheet about the swap and how to convert everything while still using the automatic harness. If you need any help i will try to help you out, if you have already gotten all of those things to work, please tell me how you did it. I would love to have cruise control!
