Of course you can, in fact the best towing cars are automatic
The drive wheels either need to be off the ground or the drive shaft has to be removed.
You'll need to remove the driveshaft in order to do this.
you can hock on the main axel and then put in netral
You should never tow a car with Automatic transmission
put it in neutral, you can also have someone steering the car
I was told by a Toyota dealer that I cannot dolly tow a car (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) with the drive wheels on the ground. So, a front wheel drive car can be on the dolly forward but a rear wheel drive would have to be backed on the dolly.
If it is a standard shift and not an automatic, yes as long as you put it in neutral. If it is an automatic you can disconnect the drive shaft. Otherwise you cannot tow it or you will damage the transmission as it will overheat.
depends. the car could be damaged differently.
That car has a relatively low powered engine, and a history of mechanical problems. I wouldn't risk that journey, and definitely not if it has an automatic transmission..
Yes, you can tow an automatic transmission Saab, but you must be very careful to tow it without it being "in gear". If that is not possible then it is best to have the car moved on a flat-bed truck, or by raising the driving wheels so that they are on a "dolly". A dolly is a sort of low wheeled vehicle which can have the "driven" wheels of the car sitting on the dolly, and not on the road surface.
Yes you can. As with all automatic transmission cars You have to get the gear selector into Neutral (N), this disengages the engine from the drive shaft and allows the car to roll. To achieve this, turn the ignition on, press the brake pedal and shift the gear lever to N. Attach your tow rope to the tow hook below the front bumper and tow.
