Hello, I'm Danny.
You can remove the gear shift linkage off of the transmission lever to manually switch the the transmission into neutral to move. You will just have to worry about the steering wheel locking if turning the car while moving. I've attached picture steps below on how to remove the shifter linkage from the neutral safety switch on your Saturn. I've circled the linkage you will need to disconnect to shift the car into neutral. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
