You will still be spinning all the shafts in the tranny. and some of them are not designed to spin faster than engine RPM. If the tranny is stuck in 1st or 2nd, and you tow it at 60-70mph, you will be spinning those bearings/shafts at twice/3 times their rated speed. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
