The Vanquish workshop manual doesn't mention an emergency neutral override, but it does mention this: Neutral selection - Neutral may be selected at any time by pulling both paddles simultaneously. This will select neutral but will not inhibit the automatic selection of first gear at ignition off. Neutral must be selected to allow engine cranking. Neutral should be selected whenever the vehicle is parked for extended periods and the battery conditioner should be used to maintain battery charge. If left in gear with a discharged battery, the vehicle cannot be moved. If you require to place the transmission into neutral permanently, pull both paddles twice in quick succession and switch off the ignition within three seconds. This will permanently select neutral for such purposes as towing or manually moving the vehicle in a workshop.
Aston's are hand made cars though, so it wouldn't surprise me if different assembly workers put it in different places within the car. This certainly was the case at the TVR factory.
''Neutral should be selected whenever the vehicle is parked for extended periods''. It seems that somehow Hoovie missed that bit when he read the manual , which I am sure he does with every car he owns.
Hello, here is some important information on the Vanquish gearbox system. There is no cable at all behind the rear seats to put in the car into neutral, if the car is stuck in gear the only way to move it is to disconnect the drive shaft or jack up the rear wheels. If you need to lock the car into neutral turn on ignition, push brake and pull both paddles twice, turn off ignition and remove key within 3 seconds. There will be a beep indicating the car has been locked into neutral. Vanquish has an automated shift manual gearbox, the DB9 is automatic. These two cars are very different. The oil leak is most likely one of the hydraulic lines on the ASM pack. If it is one of the lines that goes from the solenoid pack under the gearbox to the shift actuator on top the gearbox then the gearbox will have to removed from the car. If changing these lines it is very important not to move the hydraulic shift actuator itself or the two mechanical gear position sensors on the sides of the gearbox if the car has not been upgraded to the magnetic gear position sensor. If one of these parts are moved even a 10th of millimeter the octopus test will have to be done to relearn gear position. To do this you will need AMDS or Launch X431 with Aston Martin 10.56 software. I know these cars very well, I have a 2004 Vanquish myself that I do absolutely all the work on. Feel free to ask me any more questions on the Vanquish.
Best of luck to Magic, Mike in his future endeavors. That’s a the large problem in the automotive repair industry. When you finally find a good tech, worth his salt. They want to go and start their own thing eventually
I think the larger problem in the industry is that technicians are grossly underpaid. After nearly twenty years in the trade I finally wised up and got out altogether. I had no desire to run a business.
@@kway745 I was going to say. Not every tech has the knowhow to run a shop. It is certainly not easy to run yourr own business. Some just know how to work a wrench and thats great if that all they want. I wish Magic Mike the best of luck.

So sorry your going through a bunch of horrible changes. Hang in there because it gets better. You will be back on top in a better situation. You will see. Hang in there. Your a cool guy.
Everyone thinks he's getting divorced. I reckon his wife is pregnant with triplets, he's had the snip to make sure no more babies and they need the space to make more bedrooms.
Magic Mike was a very good mechanic and I am sure he will be really missed at The Wizards shop . I did see Mikes new shop and it is small with no lift as yet . I hope he does well .

It was cool meeting you last night. Have been a fan of your channel for awhile. Have to let me know if you ever make it back to St Croix. I’ll take you out in the M4 and show you some of the nicer driving roads 👍
That is a good running motor. You had to have the key on so the steering wheel could turn and you were being pulled so slowly to boot. Nice reflexes, man.
Nobody wants a 1.2L high strung turbo engine with oil dilution problems, fitted to a CVT that will shred its belt in 80,000 miles, controlled by an ECU connected to 65 modules. Every MFing function has to have its own module now. Good luck when module 34 takes a crap.

There is a neutral override in the back passenger seat, a lever you pull. Samcrac had to get his into neutral and he did it this way.

And then park it in the plains so it can pull start itself and be free to roam with all of the other Astons in the wilderness
