Re: OT: Towing FWD was:Automatic Transmission Pump for EVs
'nother problem with towing:
Most manual trannies self-lube off the motor side. The gears are spun
by the motor, not the driveline, and the gears do the pump-lubing of the
gear-to-shaft bearings.
So if you tow a GREAT distance at HIGH speed you COULD toast the
tranny. One more thing to make you nervous! Personally, I'm still
lookin' for a trailer....
