that oval thing? nothing for a manual trans. its for autos. you put your key in there to unlock the automatic shift lock thing. think its for towing or something like that. Have to look at the manual again.
or I could say its a pre-cutout for a nos button or something :P |

I read it in the manual something along the lines that if you tranny locks and u can switch the gears out like out or in to the park (ps I have auto tranny) you supposed tkae the tab out and put in your key in there and the tanny will unlock, u can read it exactly in your manual.
Hopfully u got what I was saying |

automatic trans when you turn the car off the locks the shifter. if something fails or you need to tow the car or something you use that release so you dont have to have the key in the ignition.

My '89 Legend used to lock in park all the time, and I'd have to use the key to release, it actually had a key hole next to the shifter to unlock it, I'd have to put it in neutral then start it and then put in in drive, drove me nuts, but then again it had like 300k miles on it by then

also makes it easy for repair shops to move auto transmission cars around that might have the engine in some state of disrepair.
my 98 had a keyslot there. same concept on any new ones, pull plastic cover off, stick key in, shift car. |
