Yes. You could even flat tow it. All you have to do in either instance is put the transmission in neutral.
If the car is being transported on a tow dolly, the exhaust and the drive shaft must be removed to prevent severe transmission damage. Another note, do not attach the tow hooks to the rear lower control arms, or the front control arms.
For 2wd's :With automatic transmission, you must dolly the rear wheels and tow it backwards, or remove the driveshaft to tow it frontwards. With manual transmission, you can get away with leaving the transmission in neutral, but if you tow serious distances, like cross-country or something, the ideal method would be to remove the driveshaft, to be safest.For 4X4's :With automatic transmission, you must dolly all wheels, or remove the driveshaft(s) to whichever (or both) axle with wheels that will be on the ground.With manual transmission, you can get away with leaving both the transmission and transfer case in neutral, but if you tow serious distances, like cross-country or something, the ideal method would be to remove the driveshafts to any axle with wheels that will be on the ground, to be safest.
It can be. If it's an automatic with the electronic NP233 transfer case, you should remove the driveshaft. If you have a manual transmission or the manual NP231 transfer case, you should shift them into neutral.
Yeah just make sure you have it in neutral. I've heard of people leaving a manual transmission in gear and trying that and actually blowing up the transmission.
I was told by a Toyota dealer that I cannot dolly tow a car (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) with the drive wheels on the ground. So, a front wheel drive car can be on the dolly forward but a rear wheel drive would have to be backed on the dolly.
You can tow your s10 pickup on a car dolly. You must back the rear wheels into the wheel supports so that the rear wheels do not rotate while in motion. Position the steering wheel to center position and tow away. I've towed mine across 4 states with no problem.
Yes, you can tow an automatic transmission Saab, but you must be very careful to tow it without it being "in gear". If that is not possible then it is best to have the car moved on a flat-bed truck, or by raising the driving wheels so that they are on a "dolly". A dolly is a sort of low wheeled vehicle which can have the "driven" wheels of the car sitting on the dolly, and not on the road surface.
The only safe way to transport a BMW is to put it on a flatbed truck. If you tow using a hitch you risk damage to the rear differential and/or the transmission.
to tow a 1992 Geo Tracker you must either disconnect the drive shaft or use a tow dolly and tow it backwards or you will damage the transmission
You will need to remove the drive shaft to tow a Jeep with a tow dolly.
