Is there that little "slot" next to the gearshift ( I think it's the Park over ride??) that you either press down or there is a little slot . Hope this makes sense and helps.

I put some info on the shift lock overide system in this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ght=shift+lock

you may have busted the slide mechanism that permits you to shift out of park.

It seems the power windows and power steering dont work either. Taking it in to the dealership tomorrow.

Dragging an LS4x up onto a tow truck with the rear wheels not turning wouldn't be my first choice!
