🚨 1995 Ferrari 348: Emergency Neutral
The 1995 Ferrari 348 with listed 'automatic' is actually equipped with a gated manual transmission; true automatics were not available for this model.
🧰 Drafted with AI under the editorial review of Chris Hackleman & Jeff Moore — details like the exact override location may vary by trim; verify visually before prying anything.
⚠️ Chock the wheels first — neutral means the car can roll. Set the parking brake while you work, never stand downhill of the vehicle, and try a 12-volt jump before any override: power fixes most stuck-in-park problems instantly.
The procedure
- Ensure the parking brake is firmly engaged and the vehicle is on level ground
- Press the clutch pedal fully to the floor (no electrical power required)
- Move the shift lever from its current position through the gate to neutral (center position)
- Release the clutch pedal slowly
- Verify neutral by attempting to rock the vehicle gently
- The vehicle can now be pushed or loaded onto a flatbed
With zero electrical power
No electrical power is required to shift this manual transmission into neutral. Simply press the clutch and move the lever to the center neutral position. The gated shifter provides tactile feedback for neutral position.
