If the car has an automatic transmission, then YES... Unless you can let the car idle in neutral the entire way. Otherwise you will burn up the clutch packs because the pump will not be sending fluid through the transmission to lubricate it. The ONLY exception is if you have an old powerglide that actually DOES have a rear pump. Manual transmissions lube themselves via the gears flinging the gear oil throughout the transmission whenever the gears are turning, so a manual transmission will be just fine to tow in neutral with the driveshaft attached.
