I read somewhere in vw's literature that you can only tow short distances
and at slow speeds because there is no lubrication when the engine is not
running. This applies to most cars. Years ago automatics had two pumps, a
front and rear. You could even push start a automatic back then. However the
industrie started leaving out the rear pump in the early sixties.
You could remove the cv shafts.
