Is towing a 911 with a front wheel dolly a bad idea? If so, why?
The title pretty much says it all. I have heard it rumored (can't remember where), that towing a 911 with one of those front wheel dollies like those rented from U-Haul is not good for the transaxle. Maybe there is something I'm just not thinking of. I understand that the gears are still meshing, but so they are when the car is under it's own power. If the transmission is in neutral (an obvious condition for towing) where would extra wear come in? Would mileage towed (700 - 800 miles) be a factor?
Is there a risk of the car somehow "slipping into gear"?
Any thoughts on this?
