Question about trailoring your car!

[Sniper]

When you trailor your car, do you leave the car in gear or will this damage the transmission?

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

Always left in gear here with a manual tranny+praking brake. Park with the parking brake for auto's. Never had a problem.

But never use the emergency brake at the track! It will weld your pads to the rotor.

Note: To posers it's a parking brake.

Thank you Craig, Tony, and Chuck!

Use tie down straps with hooks that attach to the D-Ring and a J hook that fits the front and rear frame slots and attach the tie down strap hook into the J hook.

I only use the parking brake...and of course tie down straps.

I recently had this discussion with a locally tech that does a lot of trailoring and his advice was to out of gear with parking brake on. I THINK his explanation was that the bouncing and jouncing would cause wear on the syncros in the tranny.
