yeah the jb weld was me, it's one solution. I finally tore into the center console to see what was going on and found that the wiring in there is DESTROYED. The connector on the shifter is completely ripped off so I'll need a new one of those. That'd be why the key doesn't come out. I'm going to pick up a shifter and the wiring from a junkyard, I expect it'll fix my problem.
