My ST just died while driving and I need a tow. First guy showed up with a regular tow truck and I refused to let him tow it even though he insisted it would be fine to tow it from the rear. I called AAA and explained so they are sending another company with a flatbed. Can they just put the vehicle in neutral to pull it up on the flatbed or do I have to disconnect the transmission using the switch in the center console?

Use the switch so it can be put into neutral.

That’s what I thought. I just have to find something to flip the switch with. I usually have a small tool box in the back but I took it out the other day and haven’t put it back. Hopefully the driver has something. I’ve read it can be a bitch to flip that switch to! Thanks for the fast reply!

I've seen people use the key from your fob.
I’ll try that. Hopefully it moves easily!
