That won't work on the car in question as it seems to have the interlock in the transmission. The 722.6 was originally designed that way for 96 model year. Besides, getting the clip off the linkage is difficult due to space constraints. Pulling the hush panel from under the dash gives access to the interlock cable at the brake pedal.

shertex For whatever reason the shift interlock on my 98 has never worked. I've pointed out to my son the potential danger (he's the daily driver) but this thread makes me glad it doesn't work.

That's more dangerous than an old style non foot brake interlock gear shifter. The spring that keeps the shifter in park is pretty weak, it does not take much to reach for something across the car and pull it out of park. The parking brake will hold but that assumes it is being used.
