Best way to tow an ADW Stealth? Anyone know?

Hey all, Will here again, with a question: What is the best way to tow an AWD stealth? Its transmission is fried, even though it still drives, I don't want to drive it 2000 miles back to Arkansas from California. I was thinking tow dolly at first, then I remembered its equipped with AWD, so its almost a case of trailer or rollback. Any help is appreciated.

Will S.

You can use a dolly. You just have to unbolt the driveshaft from the rear end and tie it off to the side.

These cars are hard to fit on dollys too. The last VR4 I towed was AudibleSilence's. The barely and I mean BARELY fit. The if the wheels were 1/2 wider it wasnt going to fit thats how close it was.

They fit fine on uhaul dollys, and the wide uhaul car trailers. They also fit fine on any standard car trailer, if they rub on the sides its because you aren't using a real car trailer.

Transmission LOL. I drove it from San Francisco to Sunnyvale Ca (30-40 minutes), with the reverse synchro and some other shit laying in the oilpan. It crunched like crap, but it made it there, at highway speeds. I don't, however, trust it to get me back home to Arkansas. Anyone know where I can get a cheap tranny? I don't care if it is used, just so I don't have to sell my Stealth!

haha I love your signature line. I have a few of those cars, and especially the farm trucks with the "Why the hell do I need this?" mods.
