I'm still fighting this strange problem with a key that won't turn. I pulled the the ignition switch, the lock cylinder, the plastic bushing, the steel gear retainer, and the brass gear. I can now push the pushrod back and forth. It's not broken.
When I do it manually, I can push it all the way forward. I think this may be the position that energizes the starter. It "clicks". However, I can't pull the pushrod back into the off / acc. positions.
So my questions are:
- Any chance there's something binding it?
- What is the black assembly in these pictures? It looks like this unit may be keeping the pushrod from moving back.
- Is that black thing some kind of transmission lockout?
Thanks, HE
