May need to take my 6-speed Crossfire to the dealer and drop off. On a dolly with the rear wheels down and in neutral wit the engine off, do the gearbox bearings/gears get enough lubrication ? YWTK

 

If you cannot 'dolly' it from the rear (rear wheels of the ground) then I suggest a 'rollback'

.

 

Most manual transmission are fine, automatic definite no.
If a flatbed is a option, is what I always choose.
We have the same nsg370 that is in wranglers and how many are towed behind rv's.
Even when I had to get my silverfox a tow I called a rollback.
You thinking of a towing company or a uhaul?
How far is the tow?

Everything ok with your crossfire??????

 

Read the Owners Manual.

 

6 miles. OM just says if front is raised to secure the wheels (dolly and wheel straps) also says not to tow an automagic over 30 miles,.

 

Just 6 miles, I wouldn't worry about it.
Towing a auto will burn up transmission with no oil movement.

 

You can tow your manual no sweat.


Don't forget to turn on the tow switch. Second from the right.

 

Yep.. cause we always lock the car for towing! .. seen your owners manual lately Franc?

 

Hie does not need to tow his manual at all, he has a CD so he can just put it in the glove compartment.

I think the tow switch is just an alarm and you actually turn it OFF.

 

AND is activated when setting the cars locks - alarm system.. No alarm set.. no tow away arming.

 

LOL 180. I needed that giggle.


I believe you are right 180. Depends on how you look at it. You need to turn it from normal state so it doesn't sound the alarm right?


Normal would be energized or "ON"


Batta boop!


I know when I drug mine I turned to the off condition.

 

The switch has the word 'OFF" on it.

 

It only goes "active" with the car locking-alarming.. "off" position allows you to lock the car and "not" have the tow alarm active.. when you jack up the car does the alarm sound? No? Set the alarm and jack it up..

 

SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM The system monitors the doors, rear liftgate/decklid, hood, and ignition for unauthorized operation. The security alarm system is automatically armed or disarmed with the remote control or any of your vehicle’s keys by locking or unlocking the vehicle.
The antitheft alarm is armed within approximately 10 seconds after locking the vehicle. A blinking light in the tow away alarm switch indicates that the alarm is armed. Once the alarm system has been armed, the exterior vehicle lights will flash and an alarm will sound when a door, the rear liftgate/decklid, the hood, or glove compartment is opened, or if someone attempts to raise the vehicle for towing. The alarm will flash the exterior lamps for approximately three minutes and sound an audible alarm for 30 seconds. The alarm will stay on even if the activating element is immediately closed.
Tow-Away Alarm The tow-away alarm switch is located on the console. To deactivate for towing or jacking up the vehicle, press and release the upper portion of the switch. Press and release the upper portion to activate it again.
After the alarm system has been armed, the exterior vehicle lights will flash and an alarm will sound when someone attempts to raise the vehicle. The alarm will flash the exterior lamps for approximately three minutes and sound an audible alarm for 30 seconds. The alarm will stay on even if the vehicle is immediately lowered.
To cancel the alarm, insert the key into the ignition switch or press a transmit button on the key fob.
To prevent triggering the tow-away alarm feature when parking on a surface subject to movement (such as a ferry), switch off the tow-away alarm. To do so, turn the key in the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK or ACC position, or remove the key from the ignition switch. Press the tow-away alarm switch and the indicator light will illuminate briefly. Exit the vehicle, and lock the vehicle with the key or the remote control.

 

Right but I still turn it off ( or on) when they tow it up the ramp onto a flatbed.


You're being pedantic Still hilarious.

 

So, then turn it off. Which disables the alarm. And turns tow mode on.

Why is this a big deal with you guys?

 

Apparently you don't have anything better to do either..

 

I took the Muskegon ferry to Milwaukee some years ago and had to lock the car but forget to turn off the alarm. I was called down to the car deck because my alarm kept going off due to the movement of the ship.
