ignition cylinder question

[dallasb53]

i have an at parts car, with a mt dd. i have two different keys on my dd and would like to have one lol (the guy that had the car before me said the clicking that came from the starter was the ignition switch... which turned out just to be a bad connection) needless to say i am glad i own this baby now.

my question is can i use the ignition cylinder from my at for my mt car? i know the auto has the cable that makes sure the transmission is in park and the manual has the button. can i bypass that or what? whats the best way to go about fixing this problem?

Thanks in advance
