Dinghy Towing

I looked in my Jetta's manual, and there is quite a lengthy section about emergency towing. It even describes in some detail how to "redneck tow" either a Jetta or another vehicle. It does say that if the Jetta is an automatic to limit towing to 30 mph and 30 miles. It makes no mention of any restrictions with a manual transmission but at the same time it doesn't say you can tow unrestricted.
