2005 Volkswagon Jetta, 5 Speed Manual Trans, Can I Flat Tow
I am asking for my neighbor that has upgraded to a motorhome, he wants to flat tow his Jetta with 5 speed manual trans, is he OK or not.

Thanks for the post, this is the problem my neighbor is having, VW says no but has seen others doing it, just like a post above they sell the base plates for the Jetta to flat tow, why is VW so hard headed over flat towing a manual trans, when many have done it with success.
Liability.
If they did not engineer it to be flat towed, in spite of the fact that it CAN be flt towed VW does not wish to be liable for any engineering inadequacies that might result in transmission damage from flat towing.
They never factored it in so they do not wish to take any responsibility... do it at your own risk.
