Possible damage from being towed?
I just bought an 89 Chevy with a 305 and 700r4. The guy I bought it from towed it about 150 miles with the rear wheels on the ground and the driveshaft not disconnected. What possible damage could that have done? Everything I see says to disconnect the driveshaft first but .....too late for that. Tried searching but could not find any good info. Thanks.

Can't drive the car currently, it needs a radiator and new plates, may be a week or two till I can drive it. I moved it 50 feet and it drove, but am concerned about its longevity.

Re: Possible damage from being towed?
Unless he towed the car with the engine running I would expect some transmission problems. Years ago I saw a guy tow a car without removing the driveshaft. He started the car and put it in neurtral. No ill effects as a result.
