Am I allowed to ask why the tow?

You're not supposed to tow autos (recommended max 30 miles at max 30 mph)

I think the reason is that the box doesnt get properly lubricated while it is turning.

However I have towed a good few auto Scorpios a good few miles (London to Scotland etc) and never had any problems
