#7 of 8 Key and Transmission

Ok I have a 97 jimmy that all of a sudden with no warning has the key stuck. Along with this my transmission will not shift properly. The motor will start and I can shift to any position. But when I shift it to drive it acts like it is in a higher gear and wants to move but won't. This happened about a week ago and I unhooked the batt cable for the night rehooked up and then it went to working fine. Now it is stuck at work and i cant get it to move fowards. Just reverse. also when I shift to reverse it engages hard like a clunk. I think it is electricial or why did it shift fine the first time this happened. When it works it works fine with smooth shifts. Any ideas?
I do have the ses light on but cant take it any where to get it checked.
Thanks

I had the same problem and tried spraying the key switch with WD40. This didnt help so then I tried removing the cover around the gear shift(floor shift) I then sprayed everything I could reach and it freed up the shifter and now the key comes out without any problem. I think the shifter was hanging and would not let the shifter go into the park position.
