In some cars, the lubrication of the bearing on the rear of the transmission depends on movement in the front part of the transmission. Coasting in neutral while driving does not normally last long enough to make any difference, but continuous towing of the car can starve the bearing of needed lubrication. On my autocross/mini-stock Cortina, when we saw smoke, I stopped on the shoulder. Our mechanic crawled under to look around and burned his hand on the tailpiece. Lucky for him, there was water in the roadside ditch. </div></div><br clear="none"><div class="ydp55c005b1yiv5648598124gmail_quote"><div id="ydp55c005b1yiv5648598124yqtfd28966" class="ydp55c005b1yiv5648598124yqt2081798242"><div dir="ltr" class="ydp55c005b1yiv5648598124gmail_attr">On Sat, Oct 28, 2023 at 5:58 PM Frank Fisher <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:yellowtr3@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">yellowtr3@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;" class="ydp55c005b1yiv5648598124gmail_quote"><div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div></div>
