93 ls key locked in ignition!!
hey guys, I recently installed a levoc shifter in my car... while I was installing this item I kept the key in the ignition so I could double check my work and make sure the o/d function worked properly. so... now I cannot turn my key all the way to the left and remove it from the ignition, it stays locked in there until the battery dies and only then can I take it out. the car turns and starts perfectly I just cant take the damn key out when i park, its very frustrating as my battery has already died 3 times, can somebody help me out!?!?!

Wasn't there something you were suppose to remove from the bottom of the shifter so that the tranny could lock/unlock al the way? Sounds like you have something jammed/should have been removed, and the shifter is partially stuck in gear. I would take the shifter loose and so if anything is jamming it at the very base.
Edit-- did a little research an I was wrong, dont know if this will help any,,,

hey guys thanks for all the suggestions I have found the problem and of course its a simple one. After I retraced my steps and spent alittle time becoming friends with the guts of my shifter I discovered I left a very obvious piece of the stock system out. There is a spring that pushes the shifter up after its depressed and moved out of park that I left out. Its not mentioned in the tutorial I used so I dont feel like to much of an idiot
truk you were right on bro.
