Guys,

Thanks for the input. Just to split hairs...

I assume a manual transmission that is being towed LEVEL like a tow-bar on the car, would not have a problem as the trans gears/bearings are about half immersed in the oil anyway, even with out the gear splash.

The complication relates to using a DOLLY and towing the car with nose up.

Since the nose of the car is up at an angle would there would be a bearing, roller or otherwise, at the front of the case not getting sufficient lube?

Seemed unlikely to me, but cheaper to ask some dumb questions then deal with pulling a trans.

Dropping the drive shaft isn't really practical on some of the Cobra replicas. On my ERA Cobra (maybe my friends Backdraft too) the drive shaft comes out from the top. Remove the seats, trans tunnel and then you can get to the u-joint to remove it. PITHA.

Thanks again,

Pete
