Mark, my daughter has a 1998 Acura integra. The key gets locked in and there is a small lever if you will on the shifter that (its under the plate/cover at the base of the shift lever) you can raise manually and the key will come out nice and smooth. I have been able to get the key out without doing that but you have to fight it and it feels like cylindars have dropped or something. I would like to know if changing the ignition switch (cylindar, keys etc) will take care of this or should I change the piece on the shifter? If so I am having a heck of a time figuring out what its called would you know what its called? Thank You

You don't have to break your ignition off with a chisel. Take wd40 and squirt a little in the tumbler. Insert your key and tap on the end of it with a screwdriver handle to release the tumblers. That should free it up enough to be able to use the key. Look underneath and there will be a pin you have to push with the key on to be able to remove and replace the switch. They have ones for gray key (computer chipped) and black key (no chip). Most dealers can also refurbish yours.

Once confident the pins are triggered , Using the Car key to turn switch and disengage the ignition. SUPREMELY off chance solution but it just happened to me and hope it helps Someone else out there!

Hey my daughter has a 1996 Toyota Avalon XL and she said she is having to wiggle the key to get it to start sometimes does it have the same thing and will you have to use the same tools to get the switch out ...what do you think on this matter

Hard to say Mike but it sounds like the key or lock is worn and may soon come to a point where it won't turn - so try a new cut key before she gets locked out - Cheers and let me know what happens.

Just tap the end of the key with a hammer. Job done.

Just experienced for the first time tonight, I tried to start my car and ignition would not turn over. Had to mess with it for a couple of minutes for it to turn. Then when I got home, car was on and could get the ignition to turn so I can turn the car off and get my key out! Is that the same thing?

Yes but in reverse - your lock is failing (ignition cylinder) - needs replacement asap( or you'll be stranded
