Flat towing is a slightly different scenario because the engine is not
running. If the engine is running and the clutch is NOT depressed, the
input shaft will be turning. As long as the input shaft is turning, there
is lubrication provided. When flat towing only the output shaft is
turning, so no lubrication.
