Car manuals say that the car should not be towed with the wheels on ground for long or fast. It is because the 'neutral' only frees the engine from the transmission and not the transmission from the wheels.

When the wheel turn, the transmission turns. This can heat up transmission, since it not being cooled because the engine is not on. So the transmission fluid pump will not be cooling the transmission and is not getting proper lubrication for similar reasons.

Yes, you can tow an automatic car safely without any damage. When towing an automatic car, it is important to use the correct towing method. If you are towing a car with an automatic transmission, you should use a tow dolly or flatbed trailer. This will help to support the weight of the vehicle, allowing the wheels to spin freely and not damage the transmission. Additionally, you will also want to make sure to use a tow strap and not a chain, as a chain can cause damage to the car if it comes into contact with any of the moving parts. Finally, it is important to use low gear when towing, as this will help to reduce the load on the transmission.

If you look at your owner's manual, most of the time it would state that you should not tow your vehicle with automatic transmission. The problem with automatic transmission is that it needs the engine to circulate oil through the transmission

Towing an automatic car without any damage is possible, but it requires certain precautions. It is generally recommended to consult the specific instructions provided by the car manufacturer. In many cases, using a flatbed or trailer for towing is the safest option. Towing an automatic car with the drive wheels on the ground can cause transmission damage and should be avoided if possible.

Towing an automatic transmission car can be risky and can cause damage to the transmission if not done properly. Here are a few tips to help you tow an automatic transmission car safely:

  1. Use a flatbed tow truck: This is the safest way to tow an automatic transmission car. The car is loaded onto a flatbed truck and secured in place.

  2. Use a tow dolly: A tow dolly is a small trailer that lifts the front wheels of the car off the ground. This method is suitable for short distances and low speeds.

  3. Disconnect the drive shaft: If you must tow the car with the rear wheels on the ground, you can disconnect the drive shaft to prevent damage to the transmission.
