My transmission is not engaging into neutral so I can push it ten feet into the garage. I have a CVT code FSH. Is there a linkage on the transmission that I can unbolt and turn by hand?

It sounds like the transmission shift cable has broken. Here are diagrams to show you how to remove the cable so you can move the lever into neutral or any gear as long as you are not in park you should be fine. You will need to jack the car up to get to it.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please run this test and get back to us.
