To shift an automatic transmission to neutral when the battery is dead, you only need a paperclip and the car key. First, locate a small plug near the gear shift lever marked with the word "SHIFT". Then, use the paperclip to pry open the plug by inserting it into the gap around the plug. After that, you can remove the plug. Next, insert the car key into the small hole, or you can use any other long, thin object. Finally, you can shift the gear lever to the N (Neutral) position.

What Causes Abnormal Noise When Shifting Gears in a Car?

Introduction to the causes of abnormal noise when shifting gears in a car: 1. Damage to the transmission housing, long-term wear and deformation of the transmission case and bearing seat holes: This type of noise is loudest when shifting into low gears and gradually decreases as higher gears are engaged, being the quietest in direct drive. 2. Due to the fracture of individual gear surfaces, causing impact during meshing: When shifting into the affected gear, strong impact and vibration occur, leading to resonance in the transmission housing. 3. Improper transmission assembly: Incorrect replacement of gears, needle bearings, or bushings in a certain gear of the transmission, or abnormal assembly clearance, resulting in poor gear meshing and abnormal noise during transmission in that gear.
