zap Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Due to family issues my Supra has been standing for a couple of years, I am now in the position to get it recommissioned and back on the road. I need to disengage the Auto box to enable me to get in on to a tow truck. How do I do this? and do I need a battery attached? Thanks in advance.

Swampy442 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 You can just tow it onto a truck, dont worry about it. To disengage the the shift lock hold the red button next to the shifter and move it to N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysdan Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Press the red button foot on brake. Then put into N . Job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Cheers for the replies, will get it done. Any tips on parts that might need changing after standing for that amount of time? Have bought all new rubber water and air pipes and new discs/pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zap Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Cheers mate, need to get it from Kent to Essex, around 70 miles, hence the tow truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Just have look over the engine, see what needs replacing, might be OK. Just to clarify, tow and in put it on a truck, not tow as in tow behind a truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Have had a good look round, seems to be mainly perished rubber hoses, which will all be replaced. All of the ancillary pulley's are rusty but should clean up ok and I will replace all of the belts. Yes, will be putting on to a truck for removal and not towing behind.

zap Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Car has only done 40k so everything else should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 In that case just put it in neutral, job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Said goodbye to the Supra today. Hopefully will be driving it back home in a couple of weeks and be able to use it once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
