Jeep won't shift.
OK so my ignition went out. (more then just the key cylinder). I installed a push button ignition. And everything works (except headlights). Ever sense I installed the push button I can't shift. I managed it get it from Park to neutral. Now it won't shift at all. It will go to drive but that doesn't require the shift button. Any suggestions? 89 cherokee

I know where talking a generation gap but it might be the same. Theres a mechanical shift lock that runs down the column to a cable that connects near the shifter. When I switched my 98 over I had to remove the center console and disconnect that wire. Ever since then it's been fine. If you have a steering wheel lock that might be a more difficult endeavor.
