Transmission Noises. Key wont come out of ignition HELP

1995 tacoma 35" tires 4.88 gears automatic.Key wont come out of ignition. Hard shift when i take it out of park. Chattering squeaking noise coming from the transmission area when driving down the road. It shifts good and all an runs great i just dont understand why its making this sound... I never had the ignition problem until i just got the truck back today with the new 4.88 gears.... Help

 

Not sure, but a couple of things come to mind.

First is steering wheel lock preventing key coming out. Try rocking the steering wheel like you are turning and see if the key releases.

Other thought is perhaps an issue with the linkage or transmission mount system putting things in a bind. Crawl under and see if you see anything misaligned or if you have a broken mount.

First things that pop into my head. I'm sure others will chime in.

Cheers

 

was the transmission noise there before your gear install or after?

 

Thanks the key came out the next morning and hasnt gotten stuck again. On the subject about the noise, im thinking its perhaps a ujoint? The noise only Occurs when im accelerating. It sounds like a light scraping noise.
