Re: Anybody ever flat tow a 1st gen S-10 2wd manual?
If it's a t5 do not flat tow without removing the driveshaft . GM and Ford say not to as does the tremic for there t5 . The center shaft turns but does not throw sufficient gear lube to lubricate the transmission on rear wheel drive vehicles
From service bulletin #00-00-89-008F
Rear wheel drive vehicles, equipped with AT or MT, should NOT be dinghy towed. These transmissions have no provisions for internal lubrication while being towed. In order to properly tow these vehicles, place the vehicle on a platform trailer with all four tires off the ground. Avoid towing the vehicle with all four tires on the ground. In rare instances when it is unavoidable that a rear wheel drive vehicle be dinghy towed, the propeller shaft to axle yoke orientation should be marked and the propeller shaft removed. Refer to the applicable Service Manual for procedures on propeller shaft removal/installation
