<DIV>I really shouldn't speak for Hardy, but I do recall him flat towing his
TR-3 race car behind his 1967 E-Type coupe for years, up to about 1987? I
also seem to recall that he disconnected the driveshaft in the TR-3.<BR>

output shaft while holding the input shaft stationary. What you'll see is none
of the gears turn, only the syncro hubs will turn since they are locked to the
main shaft. I doubt that they will cause enough oil to lube the gears and
bushings on the main shaft while it's turning. I think you're taking a chance
if towing very far or at high speeds.<BR clear=none>> <BR clear=none>> I
