I had the spinning lock tumbler syndrome. I was rolling out ghetto fab style use a screwdriver to start the Ti. So I found a couple fixes:

1. Youtube video - take out tumbler, drill hole, use screw as a set screw, replace tumbler

2. Install a couple switches.

I opted for choice#1 with a modification:

Instead of removing the lock cylinder ( I couldn't no matter how much I fiddled with it) I simply drilled in the same spot the video suggested. One smaller to a larger bit. Installed screw which prevents the lock cylinder from spinning around.

Anyways this fix required a drill, pair of pliers (you want to turn your key all the way to off and use the pliers to turn the tumbler back to its reset position), a metal tapping screw, and flat head screw driver.

Cost me $5
