I pulled my husband's camero out of the garage so the kids could work their dogs and it started raining. I went to put the car back in and it died on me in gear [I didn't get it warmed up enough]. So I put it in nutral to restart it and it won't turn over [nadda, zip, nothing] I tried to put it in park - won't go into park. I can't get it in the garage and we're now having an electrical storm and hail. One dent in this baby and I'm toast.
Here's pictures:  here's the car with its butt hanging out of shop  Heres the dern gear shifts stuck in neutral  Here's the o-coke that's keeping me from getting it into park or drive I tried pushing it but I can't get it over hte ledge. Patty |

If it is in neutral, can you push it back on the garage?

1) Throw CLEAN horse blankets over the ass end of the car so that if it does hail, the car doesn't get kluged-up.
2) Have your kids help you push the car back into the garage. 3) WTF is an "o-coke"? |

I believe if I'm living in a few hours - I'll be single. The darn thing won't budge. My son is 16, pretty strong for a tall skinny boy we can't even get the thing to rock. You can't tell by the picture but its a bit of a slope down. I have to figure out how to move that darn lever so I can get it in park and start the car. Patty |

The car probably weighs closer to a ton and a half but who's worried about that?
Push it back out of the garage some and get a good run/push on it going back in. Put the blankets or something over it so no hail will get it!  BigDozer66 |

Get a floor jack and jack up the back end (both wheels slightly off the ground), then push it in.

are you kidding me? Is the parking brake off? Is it in neutral? COME ON!!! And PLEASE do not put ANY tool to that care Patty. I still recall how you almost killed yourself trying to jump a battery by hooking it up wrong. Sgat1r5 |

 Does the winch have a hook on the end of the line? Put the hook on any solid part of the frame. I'm assuming you have the winch mounted on another vehicle? |

Sounds like the tranny neutral switch is in between gears. Push down on the silver button on the L-Rods and move the shift lever a little forward or back or grab the collar around the steering column and twist left & right while holding the key in the crank position. You know how to operate the lightning rods? There is the reverse lockout lever there that you have to pull back while you shift back into park.

If the shifter is stuck in Neutrel, then you should be able to push the car forward.
Does the chrome part on top of the shifter press down? If so, press down on that button and shift the shifter to gear. I had a GTO like that and a Olds Cutlass. |

I did it. I put bricks behind the rear tires and got in the back and pushed and got it rocking. Then Will helped and we got it over the edge. BLAH - is it too early to start drinking?

Looks like it has those goofy "lightning rod" shifters...
The Neutral safety switch is probably keeping it from starting... If you fiddle with the levers enough (doesn't sound good huh ? ) you should be able to get it into park and get it started. My old quarter stick shifter, you had to push the little chrome lever forward, then push the shift lever forward.The little chrome lever is a reverse lockout device. It won't let the shifter go into reverse or park until you push on it... It's designed to be done with one hand. I hate those lightning rod shifters...It's a REALLY retarded ratchet-like arrangement. BTW... "Camero" is spelled: CAMARO...
