you can tow it with the back wheels on the ground, providing you are willing
to remove the axles from the car.... if you do not remove the axles, you
will ruin the transmission..... as it will not have any fluid pumping
through it, the transmission fluid pump is run off of the engine ( you may
be able to tow it with the engine running but I am not 100% sure of this (
and I would not want to take a chance))
