<div> <font size="3">I flat-towed a TR6 50 miles.  I replaced the transmission a year later.  The bushings on the main shaft failed.  But that is because there is no oiling taking place when the engine is NOT running and the main shaft is turning within the stationary gears.  If the engine is running the layshaft is turning distributing the oil and keeping everything lubricated.  <br>

<div>In general, I don’t see any problem. However I recall something similar decades ago where a tow truck driver did a two wheel haul on a car that was very low on trans fluid. After a long tow the trans bearings heated up & seized. Can’t say for sure that really happened or not. <br clear="none"><br clear="none">Peace,
