Towing!! Removing axle on Heavy duty truck!! in Heavy & Medium Duty Towing Posted January 13, 2023 · Edited January 13, 2023 by Andrew Lyons Hi, kind of a little off topic but I think you guys would know the answer. If being towed some short distance.... The transmission in is gear - I guess a gear that is appropriate for the speed your being towed so the transmission does spin too fast or too slow. Keep the clutch is disengaged. Would the transmission would still move the oil around? Would this fix the problem of towing destroying the transmission. The scenario I am thinking of is a truck or4wd being towed/ pulled off a track back to a place the driveshaft can be removed...or the vehicle fixed. Basically my question is should you disengage the clutch when being recovered a short distance? (Let say the engine is dead.)
