Purchase the column lock bypass kit as soon as you can! I had the recall done several years ago on my '98 but it didn't fix the problem. It came back and locked down tight when we were in Bowling Green two years ago. Lucky place for it to happen, we were at the 15 year anniversary of the museum. I had 3 guys from the plant work on it to get it unlocked. They finally got the pin to pull back and disconnected the column lock motor and when we got back home I installed the bypass. Mine's a 6-speed and it's the best thing I've done. Good luck!
