Can i tow a 4 speed Fiero with the front wheels on a dolly for about 120 miles?

Thanks, Matt

I really wouldn't suggest it. It's really hard on the drivetrain. The best way to do it is with the back tires on the dolley. The only thing is if you're renting a dolley...don't tell them you're towing a Fiero or let them know you're going to tow it with the front tires on the ground or they won't let you rent the equipment.

Towing a manual transmission with the rear wheels on the ground is fine. Just put it in neutral and take off the parking brake. Do not tow an automatic this way or you will destroy the transmission.

The reason they won't rent the equipment to you is that towing a car with the steering wheels on the ground is dangerous. Note: The built in steering wheel lock is NOT strong enough to keep the wheels from shifting. If the wheels shift while you are towing, it could flip you tow vehicle over or throw you out of control.

Oh yeah...sorry. Automatic is bad for the tranny...manual is okay. My bad.

Thanks for the help. + for everyone for answering

carry it on your back

Keep in mind also that when you tow a car backwards on it's steer wheels, the front end alignment is set for forward motion and not backwards. The alignment is set so you have a 'toe-in' condition, and towing backwards gives you a 'toe-out' condition. A tow-out means that the tires are trying to pull the car in seperate directions, whereas a toe-in pushes the front end together. When towing backwards, and running over rough pavement, your car can do a little swerving back and forth if your alignment isn't good, and it also wears your tires in an abnormal way.
