Ruined manual transmissions
PLEASE READ MY QUESTION! Has anyone ruined their transmission while towing behind their motorhome? State the year and make.

So I guess everyone should have said no and you would be happy. Instead you feel the need to toss insults.
When no transfer case is involved It all depends on the design of the transmission. If the output shaft is on the bottom the transmission will be okay because it is lubricated by being bathed in oil. If the output is on top and the input on the bottom you stand a chance of damage because the lower input shaft is not turning and providing oil on the output shaft which is being driven by the wheels.
In the end it does not matter if someone reported they personally had a manual transmission fail while towing because it depends on the design and therefore the make and model of the vehicle being towed.
