For SST and manual transmission cars, is it alright to tow the car on all 4 wheels on the road? Or would it damage something?

I'm not sure, but a flatbed would probably be best.

The manual recommends using a flatbed.
Wouldnt other tow trucks mess with the suspension?

manual I'm pretty sure says not to tow the car because of the AWD system and to only use a flatbed

Yes its ok to tow with all 4 wheels on the road.

I would flat bed truck it just to be safe and save your chassis any possible heartache.

nothing happened..just wondering.

But it won't damage anything if the Engine Is ON ...and the gearbox is in neutral right?

Like take for example, if I want to roll down the hill in neutral...the oil pump still working, and everything is ON because the ignition is on. No damage this way?

i have towed with car in gear, but only a very short distance, you can mess up your suspension and drivetrain, flatbed everytime, i used to tow my gsx to track every weekend

car in gear, all the wheels turn, but theres no power to the wheels, so thats why i elected to go the short distance that i did go, it was only a few hundred yards
