i got this non running maxima in my yard and i want to put it in my garage but it dont have a starter and its in park. and no battery either. is there some lock in the car somewhere i can break. i dont care the car is for junk but the engine and transmission are good and i want to get them out.

any ideas?

 

to get it out of park there's a button at the base of the shifter.
To unlock the column just undo the 2 plastic half covers and remove the lock

 

i am so glad i own a 5 speed

 

still doesn't help steering :P

You still need to be able to move the vehicle to use those

 

why? just jack the car up and slide them under. not great for grass or loose surfaces but it will work on a driveway

 

for the later models (92-94 I think), there is a little red button on the front side (near radio) of the auto shifter that you just push down while you move the lever, for the earlier models, there is still a release, but I think you have to remove the trim piece around the shifter like internetautomar mentioned
and you can still steer it slowly if you have a key to put in the igntion to prevent the wheel from locking up
