Hey – I like you thought you could put the Toyotas in neutral and fix the problem, but you can’t. I explained it in a post just above yours on the news story today. Basically, modern trannies are electrically controlled, and they won’t let you change gears if the engine is spinning above a certain speed. Thought I would let you know. Hope you take this as informative, and not picking – which it is not meant to be.
