Re: Dolly towing
I've never understood the idea that the shift lever could drop into gear while being towed.I've tried to find someone it actually happened to,and get the circumstances,but it's always been the friend of a friend etc.Try running your A up to 40 or so,stick it in neutral,shut the engine off,and try to clap the trans in gear without the clutch.It ain't going in.It's just going to hurt your hand trying.Also,the idea that that engine is going to go from zero RPM to 1500 RPM without the tow driver realizing it is kind of absurd.For that engine and flywheel to suddenly start turning would put the tow drivers nose into the steering wheel in a hurry.I have tried to drive off hooked to an A with a towbar,and left the car in gear.It takes a half second to realize you are hooked to a boat anchor.
