Towing Issues: transmission, tow truck driver, drive wheels


Question
Hi i would like to know if it is possible that you can burn the transmission when the tow truck driver jerks the car off of the flatbed there are no keys car  

Answer
The only way to cause any internal damage to a transmission is to tow the vehicle with the drive wheels on the ground. It is common to slide a vehicle off a roll back and will not usually cause damage. In rare instances it could cause damage to the parking paw but this is very rare and would only result in the vehicle being difficult to get out of or into park or the indicator needle would be slightly off.
