mine would sort of hang up once in a while too. did the mod as a preventive. do it before the key wont rotate and you wont have to drill the pin. cmz
+1 to that. Mine was getting 'catchy', so I broke down last week and did the fix.
3 notes :
1. Where it says to press the 2 ears to release the transmission locking cable, you don't try to slide it back like it was an electrical connector, you pull down ( away from the lock assembly ) to release.
2. I found it much easier to remove the ignition electrical harness if you wait until you can rotate the assembly in the clamp.
3. Use an ice pick or something to line up all the panel holes and brackets during reassembly.
