Towing Std. Shift RWD Car - Unhook the driveshaft?

My main concern about dropping the drive shaft was whether fluid might leak past the seal in the tail shaft, with the yoke pulled out and the car being tilted upward. But I could work around that.

As mowermech indicated, you don't need to pull the driveshaft out of the transmission. Just disconnect the u-joint at the rear end and then tie up the driveshaft so it doesn't come into contact with either the u-joint yoke on the rear end or the ground.
