You have to push the button to release the key? Did you know about the button?

I have same problem, and dont know what button you're talkng about

there is a little black button about the ignition. look a little harder and you should find it. All older Camrys have this.

Do you mean actually taking out the Key lock cylinder or something that allows for an override of that system??

There's a little black button near the key, you must push this button while simutaniously pulling out the key. It's so someone cannot reach around and take your key from you and steal you prescious body or something. It's a safety latch kinda thing... Did you know about this one? Maybe your year Camry does not have this. I have an 88, and I think they have this until 91 at least.

Thanks for the info... I think that it must be gone from the 92-96 models

The button feature is definitely gone form the 92-96 (generation 3) Camrys.

I am assuming that the problem with the key is related to the shifter... it moves in and out of gear without pressing the brake. Does anyone know if only the shift lock itself can be replaced... and if not is it expensive to replacethe entire shifter.
