Hello, I'm Danny.

Are you just trying to move/tow the car? I suppose you can jack the car up on the driver side and crawl underneath to disconnect the cable linkage from the transmission shift lever and then you can use the transmission shift lever to manually shift the transmission into neutral. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
