Larry, the problem involves the driveshaft turning the transmission shaft but
without lubrication - potential for damage to the transmission due to the lack
of lubrication.

Does anybody know of any reason why an MGB should not be towed using a towing
dolly that lifts the front wheels off the ground, but leaves the rear wheels
on the ground? I've heard over the years that the drive shaft should be
disconnected when towing long distances - but never why. I will be towing a
73 MGB about 150 miles at 60-65 mph. Should I be OK or should I disconnect
the driveshaft? Would lower speeds make a difference? TIA for wisdom
dispensed.
