Hey Guys - 20' GT R is not starting, how do I get it in neutral so I can tow it?
Will need some sort of power, if the battery still works put the vehicle in accessory mode and flip it to neutral, what is causing the no-start condition, is it the battery?
Dealers have a handheld computer to enter into diagnostics mode to overide the transmission to enter into neutral. Best option is to ask the Dealer Service Director to do a home service call. Otherwise a knowledgeable towing company can bring wheel rollers to cable pull it up on the flatbed.
I have no idea what Mercedes was thinking when they decided to not allow consumers to go into neutral.
If engine crankable, does not need running, you can put it in Neutral during cranking, but might need at least around 200 rpm
If engine not Cranking. Unfortunately There is only ONE way to get AMG GT in Neutral without building hydraulic pressure on the transmission .You Need CUT A HOLE (I m not joking) in upper Middle Right side of your trunk then rip off the noise damper cover of the transmission. then you will see a Mechanical Neutral spine Pin. Another unfortunate MB did not give you any lever or socket you can put it on to turn it. You can try use vise grip but not ideal. Better get the lever from Ferrari .
Pic showed from Ferrari Parts Diagram. Lever P/N 238370 GOOD LUCK, Don't ask me why I know this. LOL
