    In theory yes, but you'll still find you back drive the auto, which ****s 'em quick smart

    None the less I'd tow a reasonable distance like this, but only if you NEED to

    Chances are if your fakred and need a tow, the auto is probably lunch anyhow and is the reason your towing, so it wont matter much anyway

    Er, I took my rear flange off 2 days ago to put a new pinion seal in, and the flange can only go on two ways, as the bolts are in a rectangular pattern, not square.
    AFAIR the front is the same.
    I am willing to bet that an engineer wrote this long diatribe, which included " danger if you disassemble the driveshaft, you must ensure that the flanges are marked etc etc", and I bet some PR flack summarised it as it appears to save space.( losing the whole intention)
    I repeat it makes no sense and is unecessary.
    Regards Philip A

    Park Bulm takes care of any drag on the auto, nothing will turn in the auto if its in park and the Tcase in Neutral.

    Worst comes to worst, drop the drive shafts if in doubt.
