 I dunno but I have a theory that having an overdrive is better.=C2=A0 Flat=
 towing a car with a non-OD transmission is BAD because the mainshaft spins=
 but the gears do not and the layshaft is not distributing the oil as it no=
rmally does.=C2=A0=20

On a transmission equipped with overdrive the planetary gearset is spinning=
 flinging oil which will find its way to all the other moving parts.
Of course this is just theory.=C2=A0 I've never tried it.=C2=A0 I did tow a=
 non-OD TR6 once.=C2=A0 I had the rebuild the transmission within the year.
