Re: OK to tow manual trans with rear wheels down ?
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??????

You can tow your manual no sweat.
Don't forget to turn on the tow switch. Second from the right.

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.

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.
