So I need to tow my A4 Camaro to a local shop and I have access to a car dolly. Can I use the dolly to tow my camaro if I pull the driveshaft and if I do pull the driveshaft will I lose a bunch of fluid out the tailshaft like you would on manual car or would it be different with the auto since the fluid actually flows through certain paths? Thanks in advance.

I take a spare yoke to put in the trans. Or just wrap duct tape around the rear u joint caps (so they don't fall off) and tie the driveshaft up real good, this way you never even take it out of the trans.

Well then you are relying on the steering wheel lock to keep the wheels straight and I am afraid it will put the front end to close to the ground and it will scrape on all the bumps and dips in the road. I had thought about this, has anybody done this without issue? I don't have to go that far with the car, less than 10 miles.

Edit- Cant link it.....
Recommends a flatbed, lifting the rear, or lifting the front, with a dolly on the rear......
If you tow by the rear, you need to lock the steering wheel, you can use a 1" strap from the steering wheel to a seat bracket....
