>Another alternative to diconnecting the driveshaft is to overfill the
tranny with oil during the trip, then drain to normal level before driving
the car. This is easy on the earlier cars with the dipstick, on later cars
I believe you can screw in a valve in place of the fill plug, then force
oil through the valve (Sta-Lube sells a nice series of inexpensive gear oil
pumps which work fine with motor oil) and close the valve.

Or you can jack the car up at a severe angle so that the fill hole is above
the mainshaft (which is what needs to be lubricated.)
And if you don't want to do that you can stop every 15 miles, fire up the
engine, let it run for a minute, the shut down and continue on your way.
Naaa....
