shift into neutral w/o starting engine...
hey guys, im just wondering if there is a way to put the MINI in neutral without having to start the car. i know with other cars that use a key you just need to put it to the on position and you can shift the car into neutral but the MINI does not do this.
i just want to know because im going to be taking some rig shots on my car and need to put it into neutral for a push. |
Manual just shifts at any time!
Auto ... how about don't put it in park to start with! Just put in neutral and turn off. Use hand brake to stop it moving. |

And the manual bypass, if the battery is dead, is explained in the owners manual.
It involves lifting the panel that is around the shifter boot ring. |
thanks guys. i guess i can add this to the list of why i wish i got a stick =D

yellow tab under shifter
Hey if your MINI (2011) has died and you need to get it into neutral with no power simply do this: remove the boot around the gear selector and you will be able to see a yellow tab. Best way to pull this tab is with a hook and pull slowly. The tab can snap if you pull too abrupt. Once you get it to pull, the car will go into neutral.

what if the yellow tab does break....?
