Towing an automatic trans 190
 
Should have asked earlier- I am going on a 250 mile trip to pick up the 190.
I have a tow dolly.

Does the driveshaft need to be unhooked for towing this distance?

Will I need anything special to remove it?

Should I rent a trailer instead?

I don't want to make the trip only to find out I don't have what it takes to get it home-

Advice appreciated!

Just back from a 250mile excursion towing the 190-

Posting this info FYI:

The driveshaft is a 1/2 shaft with 6 bolts on the differential end and splines on the other.
The 6 bolts are 15 mil and the nuts are 17. Rubber carrier bearing(?) at the splined end removes with 2 13mil bolts.

Time to crawl under and re-assemble.
