I need to have my 89 Mustang Gt Auto towed to a friends house so we can replace the transmission but it's stuck in drive and won't go in neautral. How do I have it towed or can it be towed? Thanks for any help.

depends on how you want it done. They can drag it up on a roll back with a winch, use a wheel lift, or hang it off a traditional 'hook' style sling. Or you can disconect the drive shaft and flat tow it with a buddy.

yep disconnect the driveshaft,get ready for the trans fluid to leak out then tow as neccessary.

Either disconnect the driveshaft from the differential, 4 bolts hold it on as said before, or flatbed. You can also try moving the shift linkage manually from under the car, on the drivers side. Push the lever that's pointing down, toward the engine. Should put it in park.

Know what works real good? You know those wheel dolleys that they sell to roll cars around that are being resto'd? Stick one of those under the rear pumpkin, or buy two of them and use both rear wheels.

Don't forget, and I cannot stress this enough: Your rear wheels, obviously, are the "park" wheels. Don't leave the car sitting on a steep incline or anything like that, unless the driveline is hooked up and the rear wheels are on the ground.

Just have a tow truck lift up your rear and tow you that way. Pretty simple. Make sure he's careful on bumps, don't want to mess up those lovely GT bumpers.

i didnt think about popping the linkage off to put in neutral.i actually did that to someones car once.some douche blocked me in at a fair so i did that and moved that sum bitch.i didnt even bother putting it back on.sorry to get off topic but i had that thought.lol

If the transmission is locked up, removing the linkage does nothing except let you change the shifter position.

Oh, that is hillarious!! Imagine the fun if we combined this story with the cautionary tale obout the steep inclines, and possibly a lake or a septic tank pump truck, for good measure.
