I meant to look in the manual, but got sidetracked.
I found on another forum a lot of discussion about towing Hondas 4 down. Appearently around about 2005 Honda changed and said it's not allowed for several models. There were lots of testimonials of folks who tow using some procedure of running the engine, shifting from low to drive, then leaving the key on then stoppig to run the engine in drive for a few minutes every few hundred miles.
I didn't catch the logic or reasoning for all of this.... but appearently this is what you had to do when Honda allowed it, and if it wasn't done tranny problems ensued....
I think there might have been a requirement to stick your tongue out and bite your lip in a certain way while doing this too.....
Thanks for the tip on that Acme Dolly. I'll keep that in mind.
