The ignition key must be in the key cylinder for cylinder removal. The key cylinder must be removed first before removing ignition switch.REMOVAL 1. Disconnect negative battery cable at battery. 2. If equipped with an automatic transmission, place shifter in PARK position. 3. Rotate key to ON position.4. A release tang is located on bottom of key cylinder.5. Position a small screwdriver or pin punch into tang access hole on bottom of steering column lower cover.INSTALLATION 1. If equipped with an automatic transmission, place shifter in PARK position. 2. Position key cylinder into steering column as it would normally be in the ON position. 3. Press key cylinder into column until it snaps into position. 4. Check mechanical operation of switch. Automatic Transmission: Be sure transmission lever is locked in PARK position after key removal. If key is difficult to rotate or is difficult to remove, the shift lever-to-steering column cable may be out of adjustment or defective. If key can be removed, release lever mechanism may be defective. Release lever mechanism is not serviced separately. If repair is necessary, the steering column must be replaced. 5. Connect negative cable to battery. 6. Check electrical operation of switch.

The shifter cable has broken more than likely ,Find the shift shaft on the transmission,,block the wheels and remove the shift cable from the shift shaft,put the gear shift in park,then shift the shift shaft in park,then it will start,Then of course you will have to replace the shift cable.

Check the vacuum disconnect on the front axle. After 15 years, the lines break and/or get clogged. I have seen a few of the shift forks in there broken on Jeeps still wheeling with the stock Dana 30. There is a cable option which replaces the vacuum system if you dont want to worry about having the problem again. check Quadratec or 4WD hardware.

Are you lifted or stock height? The 4 wheel shifter linkage hanger is located on the drivers side front tranny tunnel (to the left of the 4wd shifter on the floor). This linkage can come loose or gather a bunch of dirt/debris. The only way to tell is to get under and take a peak.

If you are lifted and didn't install and extension bracket, the linkage will bind.

GL!!

No, There is no modifications of that sort to install a shifter if you have the application correct.. Oops, you mean remove? Still no. The floor should have a removable pan on the hump above the trans.

They acually have an Rapid response for this. This should have been replaced before the car was even sold.

Clutch pedals have a safety interlock switch that keeps a manual transmission vehicle from starting. It sounds like the pin on the bottom of the shifter in the trans is getting worn and needs to be replaced. You can remove the boot on the shifter and the cover on top of the trans and see the pin. It's a simple matter of getting the pin out and installing a new one. Just make sure everything lines up good on the install and everything is clean. Another thing that may be the culprit are the synchronizer plates could be worn nearlt out. To replace or fix this you will need the trans out of the vehicle and tear it down. Start with an inspection of the pin and the linkage as well, then if it doesn't work correctly then you may have to tear into it.

check the linkage from gearstick to gearbox

If you can see where the shifter goes through the floorboard, make sure the shifter is not hitting the floor.
There could be interfierence under the car also.
