The 2007 S2000 has a traditional 6-speed manual transmission with a floor-mounted shifter and no shift interlock system.
🧰 Drafted with AI under the editorial review of Chris Hackleman & Jeff Moore — cross-check against your owner’s manual when possible.
⚠️ 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 wheels are chocked
- Press the clutch pedal fully to the floor (no power required for this)
- Move the shifter to neutral position (center position, no resistance)
- Release the clutch pedal
- Verify the car is in neutral by attempting to rock it slightly or by confirming the shifter moves freely side-to-side
With zero electrical power
No electrical power is needed. The manual transmission can be shifted to neutral at any time by depressing the clutch pedal. If the clutch pedal feels stuck, this is likely a mechanical issue with the clutch hydraulics, not an electrical problem.
