Is it ok to PUSH an auto ? (I know u can't tow them)
Hi guys , quick non-scooby question.
I have a G reg BMW 525 i AUTOMATIC
Engine is blown.
Is it ok to PUSH this car a distance of approx 50 yards ?
I know there is strong advice that you should never TOW an auto.
Thanks - Mark

Not a problem to push it and you can tow most auto's at a limited speed and distance.The reason most people say 'dont tow them' is because they dont have the data for all the different models towing distances and speeds.So its easier to say dont tow any.
