Default Towing my stang

alright tommorrow i will be towing my stang to someone that only messes with mustangs, so hopefully he'll know whats going on with my car. I'll be towing it with a car dolly. i read somewhere that i need to take off the driveshaft, is this correct? i really don't want to cuz i don't want to drain the trans fluid out. i use to work on the post office trucks and when ever we did anything with the trannies, we had plugs to pop in there so they didn't leak.
i don't know if there is such a thing for the T5's

i know a buddy that used to work with him so hopefully the cost won't be that high, and hopefully its a quick find.

things i'm takin:
a case of beer

Exclamation towing

Ok, here is an option, my boyfriends dad actually gave me the idea. If you are looking to tow your stang a lot, and have multiple uses for a car carrier, this could definatly be a great option for you: u-haul sells out their old car carriers, they have cheap prices and it's yours to used whenever and wherever! I hope this helps!

um i would think with a dolly and you car being lowered it would scrape the rear bumper. i always needed a flat bed truck with boards (for the wheels so the car could even get on the truck) to tow my car..
