Towing a Spider.
Gentle readers, i have to tow a 84 Spider 700 miles, with my truck. Is there an issue with using a dolly? Will it create detrimental damage to the transmission?
Or should I use a trailer?
Thanks kindly!

There are lots of threads on the subject.

I used trailer both times. Rental was cheap and gave me confidence that nothing would go wrong.

Good luck,

Vin

Thanks Vin,
Appreciate it. Now I know why the car I bought has a fried front transmission seal output seal. I'll stick it on a carrier to negate any further issues.
