Tow Hubs

Well come on now.....that part about nothing turning in a manual trans is just nonsense. EVERYTHING turns except the input shaft so there is plenty of splash lubrication just as if it were driving down the road. To a lesser degree, there is some splash lube in an automatic too as long as the fluid level is up to normal. The output shaft holds a drum and drive shell that dip into the oil. Granted, there is no pressure lubrication but on a short run there is enough lube to do the job and it won't overheat in that short period of time if you keep the speed down. Naturally it's best to tow with the rear off the ground but if the front end is smashed and out of whack, then you have to grab it from that end. These are just my vehicles I'm towing and like I said, no issues in 34+ years of doing it. The only one I ever had a problem with was a '64 Valiant that I bought from a guy who drained the tranny fluid and didn't tell me. Man, I smoked that one in only 10 miles! It made it to my yard and didn't lock up but it was toast when I got it there.
