I have two other z's and they have the release. It must be an aftermarket column. When the shifter is in park, the key won't come out and the car won't start. It starts in neutral. The tranny is blown, it only goes into first gear i'm gonna replace it anyway. Are the 2+2 and the coupe tranny the same length? This is a 2+2 with a twin turbo that I purchased. The car runs good. I can get a JDM tranny to replace it
