    OK, dropping some knowledge here. first, never use the bumper eyebolt to load the car on a flatbed, even if it will roll freely. as the car closes in on the winch, the angle of the cable gets more and more lateral. fortunately, with the transmission stuck in park, breaking the bolt won't result in a runaway. there is a device that can allow the car to roll. it is essentially a wheel spacer that allows the wheel to roll in either direction while the hub turns in the opposite direction. this allows the vehicle to be loaded and unloaded without dragging. it takes some effort, lifting a corner and taking the wheel off, installing the adapter on the hub and attaching the wheel on the adapter. the adapter costs about $300

    ===== Sharing my experience with the same error, I'll summarize my 5 months saga and the final fix =====
    1. Red Battery 'Visit Workshop" sign comes on, battery checkout fine, goes away
    2. "" Drive to workshop without shifting gears" comes on a month later and the errors alternate between those 2 over 1 month
    3. I change the secondary and main batteries with no fix
    4. Take it to the shop, and after 2 months, a new transmission module
    and a new used transmission I get the car back
    5. 2 days later " Drive to workshop without shifting gears" comes back
    on ... I notice the voltage fluctuate while driving between 12.1v-13.6v)
    6. I change the voltage regulator at the back of the alternator (the
    terminals are badly burnt) and the voltage stabilizes at 13.6V while
    driving and THE TRANSMISSION ERROR DISAPPEARS
    I suspect it was the voltage regulator all along messing up the
    transmission computer ... I hope this save someone a lot of money and
    headache ..

      Thank you for this. I have this problem right now. Car won’t go into Drive. It’s intermittent. I replaced both batteries, changed the ISM. Still same problem. Very annoying and very frustrating. I’m going to give this voltage regulator a try because it’s not an expensive part to replace… the car is otherwise in great shape but this one problem is causing me a lot of headache…

    thanks for the video, just got one question, did you tried to jumpstart the main battery or the auxiliary battery witch i believe is also 12 v. Im saying this because if the problem relays with the small aux battery, by jumpstart the main battery wouldnt solve the problem. thanks.

      No, when ISM is disconnected, it won't recognize your transmission so you won't be able to shift.
