Short distances at low speed are not too bad. A manual can be a problem if it's not spinning it's gears in neutral, because it's not getting splash lube of everything. |

I always thought that the output shaft spinning the output gears kicked up
enough oil. Main thing is that the synchros are out of the way and not loaded. but that was partly an assumption... Old saying that "when we ASSUME it makes an ASS out of U and ME".

(I > shouldn't assume so much, mea culpa) I've read on some types the gears actually don't spin with the output shaft. Anyway, what's the big deal - when in doubt, tow with the driving wheels off the ground and you're fine. Driving wheels off the ground is virtually always an approved method, and will always prevent tranny damage. This hasn't changed in a few decades... (And is why towing dollies exist) |

At least Scharf has somewhat of a brain, and some of his posts are beneficial(he can usually somehow back up what he's saying). Hasn't been too many Scharf sitings around here lately though...... |
