As preventative maintenance I think I'm going to pull the tumbler of my fully functional and working ignition switch while I can get it out easily and disable the wheel locking feechur, and put it back in. I'm thinking if the tumbler goes, I'll ditch the key altogether pull the wires and move them over to an electronic proximity card sensor, using space on the left of wheel for a hot new "GO" button on it. There's room for a card slide-in slot over there too. And use an electrically controlled vac solenoid for engine kill vac lines that run through the ignition switch.. Which is just weird.
I've already ditched using door tumblers in favor for a remote entry that was super easy to hook up in trunk that cost like, $15 total. Now, I'll never have to go into the doors to fix a tumbler there, which is another bear of a job.
