How to shift

[flabum1017]

I will be taking the engine out of my 2008 Chevy Suburban. How can I put this in neutral to move the truck around after the engine is out?

Yep...or drop the D/S off...

Pop the shift cable off at the trans.Put trans in any gear but park,then turn key off.It will now roll, but remember to unlock colum before moving!

Yep. Key in as column is all mechanical for N, no batt needed.

would I be able to put the column in park to remove the key then put the key back in later and shift back to nuetral to hoo tranny back up? I know these are dumb questions, but I never worked on one with a shift lock-out.

Yes..pull the key when no moving it, then in and shift N more a move..(and no such thing as a dumb question)...

With the battery disconnected on this vehicle, the shift lock-out is inactive, so you don't need to unhook the cable at the tranny. Just put the key in, turn it on and shift.
