Is there a special tool to release trans from inside center box? Getting towed tomorrow just in case. Thanks

 

Answered own question by looking myself, pull!

 

Easy schmeasy, it's in your Owner Manual (page 195 in mine) under Vehicle Recovery, copy attached.
Under the centre console lid/hatch is a rectangular plastic cover, on the the left side or right side of the box (mine is on the left side but mine is RHD so maybe on a LHD car it is on the other side, I dunno).
Lever this cover off with a small stubby flat blade screwdriver, there is a small slot on the underside of the plastic cover just a mm or so back from the front edge.
Then once the cover is off you will see a red/orange strap and a slot inside a circular piece at the front end of that strap. Grab your screwdriver and turn that slot 90 degrees and the mechanism underneath releases and springs up a little.
Then grab the red strap and pull it straight up, this releases the Park pawl and puts the trans in Neutral.
The "special tool" is a stubby screwdriver which I carry all the time in the centre cubby!

 

Thanks

 

lost 2 fuel injectors on one side, at minimum needs one bank of injectors and 6 plugs, inde shop seems very expensive as parts come to about $450 online, even if they charge double they want $2k in labor. I'm going to get a price from dealer and try to negotiate them down.

 

Don't be too surprised at the high quote as the fuel injectors can be a real bear to remove on these engines as quite often they are stuck super tight and it can take hours to get them out.
