Hello, I just watched the YouTube video about putting a vehicle in neutral without the key. I'm having trouble locating it on my vehicle, it's currently parked on the street and I need to move it to my driveway (20ft away).

Thank you!

Your vehicle does not have a cable linkage like other that you can pop off the cable and just move the transmission manually.

You have what is called a transmission range switch that when you put the vehicle in gear this actuator moves the transmission selector to put in gear.

Please see the attached info below on this. You can remove this actuator and then turn the shaft as shown in the process below to get it into neutral. Unfortunately, this is not as easy, but it is the way to get it into neutral on this vehicle.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks
