Ignition Key Removal

I realize my questions must be silly and mundane. Is it standard that the transmission be in Reverse in order to remove the ignition key ('86 with the 4+3 manual)? 'Cause, that's the only way mine will come out.

RE: Ignition Key Removal

I just found another post that indicates this is normal for the 4+3. Seems wierd to me but I'm glad to know there isn't anything wrong with my car.

RE: Ignition Key Removal

Really, most all GM cars with manual trans have the reverse lock on the key. Even my 69 Camaro with a Muncie 4 speed has it from the factory. [8D]

Almost every GM car I have owned was an automatic - but as I recall, my '73 Vega GT had the reverse lock now that I think about it.
