2G Automatic GSX

You buy a car with a missing original ignition key, got a replacement that won’t turn over, but need to tow it.... what’s the easiest way to get your gsx awd in neutral?! Thanks ahead fellas

Did you try turning the steering wheel while turning the key? If the steering wheel is locked in either direction, it will prevent the key from turning. Not sure how to unlock the shifter without turning the key. Hope someone can help you there. This would be another option to get it towed to you

Yeah I was trying that yesterday thinking the same thing, the guy I bought the car had a new key made. But they told him it would have to be worn in before it will work. Guess sometimes the key points are too sharp etc to work right away or some crazy stuff. But thanks man

Wire brush the key. And use some key hole lubrications and place a little on the key when putting it in??? But shoot sucks cause it ain’t in ur driveway/garage yet!

You can take the shift cable off under the hood and manually put it into neutral but you still won't be able to turn the wheels.
