winnie Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I have had a look in the manual and it said something like you can tow a automatic at a reduced speed for short distances.What is a short distance?I hope I will never have to do this and I am in the AA. Quote
grin factor Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Ask me one on sport. :)100 yards, 10 miles? I suppose it would depend on how the car is being towed. I've never heard of a restriction before. :wacko: Quote
paul.h Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 A bit of info from this RAC forum http://www.rac.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?1772-Towing-an-automatic-car and this from Ask http://www.ask.com/vehicles/can-tow-automatic-car-df9ea417331837f3 So it appears lifting the front wheels would allow it to be towed, otherwise there is a risk of gearbox damage.

Porsche430 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 You risk causing damage to the torque converter on a automatic box if towed. Quote
