Does Remco or someone build a transmission pump for the VW. I know a lot of then are out there. They also build a drive shaft disconnect for rear wheel drive vehicles. Either one is fairly reaonable,. usually less than a dolly anyway
I wondered the same thing when this thread first came up, so I checked Remco's web page as did a previous poster.
Remco (pretty much the only company that makes tranny lube pumps for this purpose) does not list/recommend a lube pump for the VW beetle. Since its front wheel drive, a drive shaft disconnect isn't going to be an option, either.
Unless the VW Beetle in question has the manual tranny, pretty much a dolly or flatbed is going to be the only option here. Does sound like there are lots of folks out there flat towing these cars OK with the manual tranny, though.
Mowermech makes an excellent point about manual transmissions, and how they are lubed inside. Wonder if there's any way to find out how VW's manual transmissions are lubed inside? Would definitely be something I'd want to research before towing it.
