Put the tow dolly under the rear wheels, tie down the steering wheel, so it will not move, and the front free wheeling tires will not be affected. If you have a 67.5 with steering lock, no need to ti

You can't just drop the drive shaft and tow a 1600, because you'll drop trans fluid out the tail shaft. Unless you tie off the tail shaft with a plastic baggie or rubber glove. I learned the hard wa

The 2000 is easier to deal with towing it in the normal position. Jack up the rear on jackstands, and remove the bolts and nuts behind the U-joint at the rear of the driveshaft. A 5-minute job. Then

Not to worry with a standard transmission. Whomever told that to you never had a standard transmission jump into gear having hit a bump, and tearing the whole tailshaft out of the transmission. But h

I forgot about the plastic cap trick, yes that'll work! You can't just drop the drive shaft and tow a 1600, because you'll drop trans fluid out the tail shaft. Unless you tie off the tail shaft with

Thanks to everyone for their quick responses to my towing question. By the time I left here yestarday morning the consensus was for rear wheel towing, which is what I did. No real problems encountere

Glad to hear all went well and nothing dropped off on the way home. BTW, even towing a 5 speed car is better off towed with the rear wheels off the ground as the tranny has a tendency to leak oil fro

The trip went just fine, perhaps it was just dumb luck or something. The car's settled in and getting fixed with nothing torn, blown or torked on the ride over. -D- __________________________________

Are you crazy? Tow the car by the rear wheels! Insane. Bad idea. Don't do it--ever! Alex
