I got 5 speed 90 talon DSM
My ecu is sent to repair.
How do I move the car without the ECU?
Can I put it in neutral and push it?
the reason i asked because with the car in neutral, the front wheels are locked.
Will I mess up the drivetrain if I push the car in neutral, since the front wheels is locked ??
 
Is the e-brake off???!

Really though, the ECU should have no effect on the drivetrain, if it's locked up in neutral, get in a make sure the brake isn't sticking on, and try the clutch...
 
yes, the e-brake is off. Car in neutral.

so will i mess up the drivetrain if I push the car in neutral ?
 
no , your fine . Push that sucker. Their not easy to push either. My car went on me one day in the snow at my GF apartment. I was trying to rock it out of snow (not plowed) , then my GF and her other female roomie came over to help me out , LOL it was a fun time :laugh:
 
cool
This is a good question because with awd you can never be too sure.
I remember reading that when you tow it all 4 has to be off the ground, which makes sense since all 4 wheels turn in awd.
but now when you think about it all 4 wheels will move when you are pushing it
