Does anyone know if you can flat tow a vw beetle (05 or 06)with a 5
spd. transmission.

Kindest Regards,

Yes, Ken and Patti Marsh are going to do just that.

Safe travels,

Rick,

Dan Jensen was towing one at the Lone Star Bird Rally in Kerrville.

Did you find your transmission problem yet?

Ralph and Mike, Thanks for the reply to my question. I have talked to
VW and they are not very helpful in answering my question. They keep
jumping around and will not give me a direct answer.

one side, you've got a flat on the toad.
