Towing a 911, four down

Need some input from the brain trust here.

I'm getting close now to having all the gear to hookup the SC to the back of my motorhome to do some cruising this summer.
All the searches here have turned up conflicting info about whether the 911 can be pulled distances on its own wheels without damage to the trans.

Most suggestions are, get a trailer to tow it on. But my Moho is somewhat a vintage unit also and. Has limited tow capacity. So adding the weight of a trailer is a stretch. Not to mention the extra cost and storage for the trailer.

So towing on it own wheels is the best fit in my case.

There are pics to be found archived here of 911s being towed. But also comments about the trans not being properly lubricated if towed long distances.

So my question is, can a. 1980 911 be towed distances on it own wheels with out damage.
My car is a driver that I enjoy using, so I'm willing to add the miles while towing to have it to explore with once in new areas. Possible first destination is Colo. so lots of mountain roads to explore there.

Thanks. Richard

The unit in question
