I'm worried about screwing up the Geo transmission by flat towing it wrong. Can anyone shed any light on the proper transmission position, and if it is supposed to be Park,

why do you think mine dragged?

LOCK OUT HUBS. (located on the axles on the wheel:W)

Do you have ''automatic'' lock out hubs or ''manual'' lock out hubs.?

If you have auto you have to replace them with manual lock out hubs to tow four down.

You can NOT tow 4 down with automatic lock out hubs.

It's an easy swap to change, albeit I had an RV shop do the work.

And YES the trans shift lever has to be in PARK.

I have two Suzuki's, a 1995 Sidekick, 4X4 w/ AT and manual hubs, the 2006 GV is 4X4 w/AT and auto engage hubs. The manual for the 95' states to unlock the hubs, the manual for the 06' says that you don't have to do anything to the hubs. Actually, the autohubs engage automatically after you change the transfer case to 4H locked and disengage when you change the transfer case to 4H unlock and back up the first time. No need to change to warns or other manual hubs.
