QuestionI will be flat towing my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited automatic transmission 1100 miles each way in the next few weeks. I understand putting the T case into neutral, but do I put the transmission in drive? I've heard so many different answers, I'm a little confused by all the jeep forums I read regarding lubrication etc. Help !
Answersorry but I am always confussed by towing methods for jeeps. They seem to have things which are totally differant from anyone else.
We as Tow truck drivers, prefer to tow the vehicle in a manner which prevents any chance of damage to the transmission .
Now that means we would put it up on a trailer so no wheels will be on the ground and if not then it would be lifted at one end (like a tow dolly) and the driveline would be removed at the other end to eliminate the potential for transmisson damage.
I do know that for RV owners who tow Jeeps behind the vehicle they have either a transmission disconnect device to prevent damage from possibly happening, but I am not familar with them at all.
I just know what we do when we tow them for breakdowns, accidents or tow aways.
Sorry for the generalized vague answer..
Richard
