Don McNabb Posted May 5, 2023 Share #1 Posted May 5, 2023 About 13 months ago I parked my 240z after a short test drive. A few days after I parked it I believe there was transmission fluid on the floor. I checked the dip stick cold and it seemed good. I Have not been able to get the car to actually start to warm it up. But the immediate problem is when I put the car in neutral the car still seems to be in park. It is stuck. Cannot roll it. I know this is very limited information, but there are a lot of experts out there. Any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

SteveJ Posted May 5, 2023 Share #2 Posted May 5, 2023 Did you have the parking brake engaged? They can stick. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt. I had to push the car pretty good to break the brakes loose. 2 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/68320-parked-my-240-a-year-ago/#findComment-653322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don McNabb Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted May 5, 2023 It is not, but someone said it could be stuck. Going to try and check that in the AM. Hope that is it. Thanks for the response.

siteunseen Posted May 5, 2023 Share #4 Posted May 5, 2023 Seems like there's a rod with cotter pin that goes to auto transmission you could unhook and try and move the selector to neutral. I've seen that somewhere before, not positive it's a Z thing. Hopefully it's just stuck drums.
