Hi John, I have trouble seeing why "flat" towing is very much different than regular driving under power. There is no internal oil pump as in an automatic to worry about. All of the gears get the same use as normal use (almost, The opposite thrust faces get the contact). I believe this has been bounced around a few times and in fact is mentioned in the Bentley as fine. I see no need to drop the drive shaft or any other precautions other than making sure you're in neutral.

Hi all, Wondering about towing a syncro. Only need to go about 12 miles. I do have a tow dolly. Can I just disconnect the drive shaft and tow with two wheels down? Which two down, front or back? The van came without an owners manual so I can not look this up. It is also engineless at this time. Thanks in advance, John Andrew |
