Re: Flat towing a TR6

["Mark J. Bradakis" <mjb@autox.team.net>]

I've done it with Spitfires before, one with overdrive.  The longest was a
trip from Salt Lake to the VTR convention in Rockford about a decade ago.

When you stop to gas up the tow vehicle, fire up the TR and let it idle in
neutral for a bit, so that the gearbox input and layshafts will splash the
lubricant around the moving parts.  When towing, the mainshaft will be
turning but not getting lubricated, since the layshaft and input shaft are
held in place by the non-turning engine.
