Pulled a DSM AWD w/ Truck
A buddy and I were doing a timing belt change in class at WyoTech over the past day and a half. He's never done it and I've only done it once, but a long time ago. He has a 1990 Talon AWD 5spd.
Anyway, we didn't finish in time at the end of today so the teachers made us make it "pushable" out of the shop. Then we find out we can't leave it on the parking lot overnight. So we had to take some towing straps and tow it back into town to his house which is about 3-4 miles. We didn't go above 8mph the whole way back. My instructors told me that it wouldn't hurt if you tow it at that speed for no more than 5 miles. Yes, I know that doing this can really have a party on the drivetrain, but we didn't have a choice since my buddy couldn't afford a tow at the moment. We were just wondering if we hurt anything. It doesn't seem that we did, but who knows, DSMs...
