Key Stuck In Ignition

[TekonMotors]

HI, I recently had a s14 sr20det installed in my 97 240sx. Once the motor was in and everything was plugged in, I tried starting it. The car just wanted spark, so we decided to tow it to a shop. Then i tried taking the key out of the ignition and it wouldn't come out. i pulled, pushed, kicked, hit, etc everything but it wouldnt give in. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS? i installed a sparco hub and wheel, but i dont think it interferes with any of this.. HELP PLEASE !!

You sure you didnt mess something up with the key release button when you put the new wheel on?

was the car an automagic?

Makes me glad I put it in "P" before the tranny swap, so other wise, sucks to be you! :keke:

maybe you messed up when you wrote this and you meant you had an S13...

In that case, PUSH THE BUTTON! hahahaha, my gf never remembers

There is a cable the runs from the ignition to the shifter that you need to remove. It goes from the ignition, under the console and attaches to the auto shifter. You have to completely remove that cable to release your key.
