Apparently you are young. Back in 'the bad old days' before safety interlocks became legally mandatory on all power equipment, you could shift an A/T into any gear at will. |
Yeah, what I meant is that I've never owned a car with an automatic transmission :-)
I still have problems seeing how a steering/transmission interlock could work, at least one that's purely mechanical. A starter interlock switch, sure, but to physically lock the steering (without solenoids) I'd think you'd have to run some sort of linkage all the way from the steering column to the console. I think Rube Goldberg Engineering holds all the patents on that :-)
