87 300TDT comes out of Park
Should my '87 300TDT allow the shifter to be moved out of Park with the engine off and key out?
My '92 300D's don't allow this. Is something broken and allowing the shifter to move? -John |

Yes and the converse that we have come to expect, not being able to remove the key unless you are in park, is not on the first gen 124s. The feature came into being in either 90 or 91.
This was NHSTA mandated after the "runaway Audi 5000" scare of the late 1980s.q I wonder if it is possible to transplant the interlock mechanism from a second gen 124 into a first gen?
