Re: Pulled a DSM AWD w/ Truck

The only difference between towing and driving is that the input shaft in the tranny is stopped VS. Whatever the engine RPM is. (so 0 RPM VS ~3000 RPM) But the gears are moving and pumping oil, so it should not be a huge problem. Letting the car sit and idle for an extended period of time would probably be just as bad if not worse.
