my freakin volvo

Gosh, do they *have* mechanics in or around the L.A. area?

Not much of a population base there, after all.....

Probably the cable from the shifter is not allowing the release of the key. (i.e., the cable is not moving the interlock to the Park position.) Try whacking the shifter when it's in the park position, see if that helps.

Where are you in th L.A. area? I know of a really good shop in Pasadena, Independant Volvo which surprisingly enough is right around the corner from the Pasadena Volvo Dealer who I would never let them touch any of my Volvos.

B. Frankl> For about a week now My 960 96 volvo key was stuck on the ignition

Did any soft drinks, orange juice or other sticky drinks get spilled on the transmission tunnel?

...or just jiggle the shifter around a bit in Park (that works for me).

Actually I just got your message and this is what ended up happening this mechanic that has been a friend of mine for many years he doesn't work on Volvos but he got tired of me complaining so he took my car for a few hours and problems been fixed since then. If you want to know what happened ask me.

We always like to see the resolution here, also it helps the next guy, if he knows how to use google groups.
