DO NOT START nor try to start the engine while either the OEM (07aaa-tz3a100) $300 tranny lock release tool or my homemade $20 contraption is installed.
Photos 1, 2, & 3 are of the 1" x 14" x 3/8" thick steel bar that I bent. I drilled a hole in its end, for the Transmission nipple to slip in to. Another hole was drilled, for a nut & bolt, which allows the Plate in photos 4, 5, & 6 to press downward on, keeping the bent bar in place, over the nipple. The tricky part was getting the nipple's hole right, because it has to be more rectangle-like and its opposite side needs to fit over the nipple's 10mm shoulders. Photo 1 shows a rectangular(ish) hole and the back side of this hole is shown in photo 3, as a 10mm round hole.
Photos 4, 5, & 6 are of the Plate that slides over the (above) bent bar, while the bent bar is over the transmission nipple.
