Want to tow my rx8
I want to tow my rx8 from Indiana to Florida. I was going to pull it with a truck using a 2 wheel dolly, leaving the rear wheels on the ground and having the car in neutral since it's a manual is this okay? I have had some people say you need to put rear wheel drive vehicles on a flat bed or load them backwards on a dolly, Some say you can but take out the drive shaft? What can and cant I do? I dont want to screw anything up but if I put it in neutral will there be a problem?

RX8's are rear wheel drive. Just to be in the safe side, if it's me, i'll put all four wheels on a flat bed.

Yep...I wouldn't haul my (ex) RX-8 on anything but a trailer. It's more expensive, but safer for the car.
But definitely do not leave the drive wheels on the ground. You'd be better off driving it. |
A flat bed (or trailer) is best but if you have to use a dolly, I suggest putting the front wheels on the dolly and removing the driveshaft. Towing from the rear is a lot less work but can cause tracking problems if the front wheels are not properly secured in the "straight ahead" position.
