Manual Transmissions and Automatic Transmissions with hydraulic pumps that work when the wheels are spinning. Can a Saturn VUE be towed behind an RV on all 4's and what do you have to do to hook it up?
Yes. Be sure the front wheel are off the ground. the rear wheels can be left on the ground with the parking brake off
No. Only a s-series saturn with a manual trans can be pulled behind an rv with all four wheels on the ground. Doing this with an auto trans risks serious damage to the transaxle.
With the drive wheels off of the ground. Automatic transmissions depend on a pump to keep the internal transmission parts lubricated. If you tow ANY vehicle with an automatic transmission with the wheels on the ground (even in neutral) you will most likely burn the transmission up. The ONLY way around this is to let the car idle in neutral while being towed, or if it is RWD, disconnect the driveshaft. If the car has a manual transmission, you can simply tow it in neutral even with the wheels on the ground.
No. Saturn Ion's wheels have 4 nuts but Pontiac Sunfire wheels have 5 nuts.
Vehicles with manual transmissions almost always have more net horsepower at the rear wheels. More power is siphoned off through the torque converter in an automatic transmission than through the clutch and pressure plate in a manual transmission, thereby giving you greater rear-wheel horsepower from a manual transmission. That being said, automatic transmissions shift from gear to gear faster than you are able to shift gears in a manual transmission, unless you are really, really good at speed shifting. :)
cause if your car went automatic then you could not control it
nope, at the crank

30-35 MPH and 30 miles. Any more and the front wheels should be off the ground. True with any automatic. Not true Read your owners manual Can be towed at highway speeds forever in neutral with key in accessory One of the big selling features for RV owners on the early model Saturn's
will ford explorer 20in wheels fit on a saturn vue
Any car with a standard transmission as long as it is in neutral. Automatic transmissions will overheat and burn up if the engine is not running. Front wheel drive cars can be towed using a tow dolly that puts the front wheels in a two wheel trailer called a tow dolly and the car rides on the dolly and the back wheels.
