⚠️ 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
- Verify you actually have a manual transmission (shifter moves through gates)
- Depress clutch pedal fully
- Move shifter to neutral center position
- Release clutch pedal
With zero electrical power
Manual transmission requires no electrical power to shift into neutral; simply depress clutch and move shifter to center neutral position.
