Re: OMG, not ANOTHER one?!

It's a 64, so the answer is MAYBE. I don't have a TSM handy, but some of the early automatics had a rear pump that would circulate fluid while towing (my 63 American had one). I don't know if 64 or 65 is the first ones that eliminated the rear pump, and don't knwo how to tell from outward appearance. If you have a 232 in the car you can take the shaft out easy. If it's the 196 it's harder, but you can do it under the car without taking the axle out. Jack the car up by the axle (there MUST be weight on the springs!), put some stands under it, then take the two caps out of the u-joint from the axle yoke, not shaft. Then you can swing the cross sideways and drop the shaft. I'd NEVER take that big nut loose unless you have to! It has to be tightened to something like 150 lb/ft and is a PITA to get back on tight enough. A fellow who used to work at a Rambler dealer told me about this and I've done it many times. So spend the hour to drop the shaft and tow it home safely!

Anywhoo, now I have to get it here to Las Vegas. I have access to a tow dolly from a fellow club member(Hi Ron! Can I borrow your dolly?!), but it occured to me that this is an automatic. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I can't just put it in neutral and dolly it back. Is there any way, besides taking the car apart, to move this car 300 miles without renting a trailer? Thanks in advance!
