How do you put a transmission in neutral without a key?

Holding the brake release tab with the brake depressed, grab the shift lever or fail like you would (holding the button in for a lever) and shift into neutral.

How do you bypass shift lock?

Get a key, small screwdriver, nail file, or any object with a similar shape. Insert it into the override slot, then push it down and hold it in place. While holding the shift override mechanism, depress the brake pedal. Hold the shifter, then push the button on the shifter as you'd normally do.

Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.
