You can tow an auto car in neutral but about 30mph and less than 5 miles or so. This same thing does for 5 speed trannys but there are less moving parts in it so the oil that is left on the bearing is enought to keep the bearings alive. It would be good to drive the car like half a mile before towing to get things oiled inside. Then throw it in neutral and your good.

So it IS a good idea not to tow an A/T rear by the front even in neutral right? I mean if it's been sitting there for a while.
