[Fot] Flat towing a Vitesse

[Barr, Scott]

It's just so easy to remove those four bolts that connect the drive shaft flange to the diff flange.  Why not do it?  It'll take 10 minutes.

If that’s the case he could just overfill the gearbox before towing and then lower the level when done.  That way the main shaft would still run in oil.
