ramsesosirus Posted July 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 10, 2016 Am I supposed to be able to shift through the gears on an automatic 76 280z with the car off, no key, brake pedal not pressed? All of my other automatics had a lock that prevented shifting without the foot on the brake, key in ignition. Is this normal or do I have something amiss?

djwarner Posted July 10, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 10, 2016 Yes, this is normal for these transmissions. The engine will only start in Park or Neutral, but no lock on the shift lever. The lock in the gear shift box is simply a product of trail lawyers and the nanny state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
