towing help

[JenkinsBS]

alright, its time that i tow my car to a garage to get the paint and engine finished... but i left my bellhousing and clutch assembly in the vehicle (bellhousing is resting on crossmember now). i know i need to take that out of the car, so is there a way to take the clutch line off and remove the bellhousing?

and im getting a tow dolly to take it down there with... can i just put the front wheels over it and just go? or is it bad to spin the back tires when the driveline and tranny are still in? i need help to get this stuff done... thanks guys

Thats no good Go and rent a car hauler from u-haul or penske and push the car up on the trailer Thats the safest way to tow.

As long as it's a short trip, the tow dolly idea should be fine. If possible, you could put the rear wheels on the dolly and tow with the front wheels spinning, to be on the safe side.

About putting the motor in, with the tranny mounted.. people do that all the time. I think with a couple bolts you will need a few extensions to reach them though..
