It's a 1996 - and a console shift.
Found the problem last night by taking the console cover off. The top connector that holds the spring had come off and was jammed under the lever shift mechanism. By holding the spring up I can release the key - but because the part is lodged under the mechanism, I still can't get it into park - but Neutral and Emergency Brake does the trick for now.
