WARNING: This only works on the earlier 126 chassis that does not have a transmission lock out. If you have to turn the key on in order to take the transmission shifter out of park THEN THIS PART WILL NOT WORK IN YOUR CAR
This is the part you will need when your ignition key continues to stick even after installing a new tumbler assembly. In over 70 percent of the cases involving a severely sticking key, I have found you need to replace both the tumbler AND the steering lock if you hope to have a lasting repair. They tend to wear each other out if the problem is not corrected early on. In cases where the key just begins to stick slightly while turning, you can sometimes get by only having to replace the tumbler assembly.
Fits all the following models listed below from 1984 to EARLY 1989
6 CYLINDER 300SE 300SEL, and 8 CYLINDER 380SE 380SEC 380SEL 420SEL 500SEC 500SEL 560SEC 560SEL
