disconnect the prop shaft for that distance. Otherwise bye-bye gearbox.

Then its the standard limit for towing which i believe is 65mph on the motorway. same as pikey wagons

50mph for 50 miles is recommended max...disconnect prop shaft 3 bolts and you can tow as fast as you like for as long as you like :)

Or...tow with engine of the car your towing running too...

Or...tow for the 50 miles, start the engine to get fluid in the box for a bit then tow another 50 miles and so on lol
