Don't need to cap the transmission if it's the 5-speed. The back of the
trans is sealed, not like the 4-speed.

A.T.,

As long as the transmission and rear end are properly filled I don't think
there would be a problem. Most vehicles that have warning about distance or
speed when towing are automatics. That being said, the safest thing would be
to drop the drive shaft and cap the back of the trans.

700 miles will just barely get you out of Texas, Just for grins, where are
you headed?

Peace,
Pat
