You dont have that.
Actually I do have the steering lockout. The wheel does lock in place w/ out the key.

Their may be and adjustment you need to do on the rod where it meets the transmission, thats what I had to do... it wouldnt go into 3rd..

Or your linkage could be bent/kinked where it comes outta the firewall.

I got sick of autos so I got teh Mucie
I know exactly where your talking about, I had the same problem when I got mine, but it wouldn't go in 1st , I had to have 1st! I adjusted the linkage and it was fine.
I just checked it now and theres some play at that coupler where the linkage connects below. But that didn't transfer up to the steering shaft. It all seems to be between where the shaft comes through the firewall and at the handle.
