Shifter stuck in park. Got it towed a while back, tow truck guy found the override I however can not locate said override to get it into neutral. Need to do the crankshaft position sensor replacement which requires removing all pulleys and belts. No obvious shift lock override slot anywhere on top of shifting block. Help?

Hi,

Normally, there is a small square cover that is removed and then the override is done with a screw driver. See pic 1.

Looking at your pic, I don't see it. There is something black in front of the shifter I can't fully see. Can you confirm what that is?

Let me know.
Joe
