not sure the year, you can try to lift the shifter, (may need a small allen key), up and away from the console, looking for a small YELLOW tab, you should be able to push that in and override the shift lock. if you need more help, or that didn't work let me know,

Have it towed on a flatbed, they can drag it up ..unless you mean just move it from your driveway to backyard...then John has it pegged

cORRECT ANSWER IS TO POWER IT UP. TURN IGNITION ON. PRESS ON BRAKE PEDAL WHILE SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL. tHANKS.
