ok so im going to be pulling my motor out soon and need to tow the car to its semi final resting place. only problem is i cant afford a flat bed.
so will the fwd fuse still work? and if i put the car in "N" will that alow it to not mess up the trans??

if you are flat towing it put it in neutral and it should be ok.
if on a dolly, just pull the driveshaft.
will it have axles in it? I know with some other cars if you move them even 10 feet or so with no axles it ruins the wheelbearings.

I think pulling the driveshaft is the only safe way to do it. Putting it in neutral doesn't really do anything for saving the tranny

i would pull it flat but it has nothing to hold on to. ie no to hook. so its gonna go on a dolly. ehh i might just have to spring for teh flat bed then

Get a dolly from Uhaul. There are four bolts that hold the drive shaft to the diff, take them out. Now the axles and diff will turn but will not turn the tranny. The driveshaft dosen't fall down or turn at all. When you are done just replace the four bolts, 5 or 10 mins to do this.
