I was planning on towing it backwards, provided I don't run into too much of a clearance problem. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
if you are towing a auto. trans. it don't make any dif. how you tow it . as long as you have fluids in the dif. and trans. some people will say pull the drive shaft and i say it wont make any dif. if you leave the drive shaft in, it will turn the trans. planetary gears and lub. the trans the same as it would if you were driving the car down the road. as long as there is oil in the dif. and the gears are turning then it is the same as driving down the road. it wont hurt anything. if its a stright shift then you have to pull the drive shaft to tow from the front. towing from the front used to be a problem with the auto. trans. because the trans. had a front and rear pump. if you left the driveshaft in, it would turn the rear pump and lock the conv. up and try to turn the motor over. that was back in the day when you could push start a auto . trans. car. **) **) :rolleyes:
