The 9-5 transmission interlock isn't a "stranding" failure; you can use a key, screwdriver, or similar implement to depress the override switch in the narrow slot located on the upper right of the transmission selector (at least on left-hand-drive models). I understand that this override may not be well documented on 1998 models. It's in the 1999 U.S. manual. -- Rob Levandowski roblnopsamhiz.com
