but there is a video on KZfaq which states that Steering wheel must be unlocked kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNWZrbCDr5zFhaM.html That's the video link, you can go directly to 6:52

@@mr.eervianlesmana9263 when being flat towed yes but since this is a video about towing with a dolly you want the steering wheel locked so your fenders don't hit the side of the dolly

@@Flexyourmemes okay

Don’t ever lock the steering wheels unless the type of the dolly is a pivot one

@@giovannilorenzo2061 good addition. Didn't know about that.

I love how much you hate Ford. haha

FORD = FIX IT AGAIN TONY HAHAHA

@@bradhazard4118 That's for FIAT :/

@@jkxss SHUT UP MILLENIAL

@@bradhazard4118 lmao are you a boomer?

If you have a vehicle big enough to do 4 wheel towing it's preferred. (:

@@bruceyyyyy .If the car being towed is also AWD but has a manual transmission, do you have to remove the drive shaft as well?

@@mr.eervianlesmana9263 yes. All AWDs have a center differential to transfer power to all the wheel at once. The rear wheels spinning will burn out the center diff that’s trying to spin the locked up front wheels

@@TheTorqueAholic owh, okay. Thank you sir!

Extra 😂😂😂 for the subtitles

I'm not sure. I've heard different things on the FWD fuse. When the Suburban gets up and running I will probably buy a dedicated car hauler trailer since it's rated for 9000 pounds towing.

the driveshaft would indeed want to spin. Could be problematic..

I believe that still has the potential of ruining the center differential/MPT since it needs fluid pumping to operate.

That could work great! The problem is I'm used to working with inoperable Subaru so this is what I'm used to doing.

yup. works great. i've done exactly that with 2 different generations of WRX. roll it up, slide under there, theres plenty of room.

@@IIIDemon Hopefully you can help. Need to tow a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek with a dolly setup. Do you know if I can just follow the instructions on this video on a newer Subaru?

This is how we've always done it: Get it on the dolly, secure it, then get underneath it and undo the driveshaft.

It should be fine just make sure the driveshaft is secured up after disconnecting it.

How'd it go Greg?

@@JustinBrockel they ended up only having the full size car trailer, and the journey was very smooth.

@@gregpenismith1248 Glad it went well!

If the weight is 2700 lbs or less I would think so.

I pull Subarus with Subarus a lot. It's overloaded but possible in a pinch. I hate to do it.

Indefinitely. Yup.

You'll have to read Liber Primus to find out!

You can tow it with all 4 on the ground if manual.

@@bruceyyyyy if I had a way to steer it

@@2002KIngs Tow Bars are $50. Turn the key on and disconnect the battery.

Would rotating the differential help at all?

@@bruceyyyyy I’ll have to try it next time I’m under there. I’ll update if it works

As simple as it is I think it's a great idea.

I mean on a dolly

I do too.

But my wife would freak if I pulled the bolts out if the rear differential

Either should be acceptable. Just don't set the park brake! It's gripping the rear wheels.

@@bruceyyyyy Thanks

I would not advise. I've heard of them being seriously damaged in less than a mile.

Nope

​@@bruceyyyyy Why not? Can't see the difference between disconnecting drive shaft and just having it in neutral (if we are talking about a standard transmission)

I'm not sure. Is the Veloster FWD?

@@bruceyyyyy yes it's Fwd

I imagine it would be a perfect choice for a dolly like shown here.

@@bruceyyyyy cool, thank you

A very short distance might be ok.

@@bruceyyyyy Oh man I towed it 280 miles, vehicle doesn't start so I can't test drive it yet, so at this point I'm very concerned about the transmission!!

Without the engine running the transmission fluid doesn't move. Can cause serious damages. When you get the engine running let me know what happened!

@@bruceyyyyy Thank you for your replies, and yes for sure I'll let you know what happens once I get it to start.

Hey about the Subaru it works great nothing happened to the transmission.

Sure.

@@bruceyyyyy alright thanks, didn’t know if it was smart cuz of my smaller engine..

Ah. As long as you're staying within the manufacturer recommended weights you'll be fine.

It did for ours.

Done great thus far.

No it will not leave it on parking and the back tires will turn

Yes you can

@@Marc_YTC long as you have warranty

@@lilpeppa117G no if it’s automatic you can tow with rear wheels rolling and I have a tow truck but never tow a Subaru if it has a clutch the car will lock all the wheels up

@@Marc_YTC from what I’ve heard if you want what’s best for a Subaru you should listen to what Subaru of Japan has to say and not Subaru of America for best advice of anything

​@Marc_YTC so you disconnect the drive shaft after it's on the dolly ?

What's up? You can ask here.

​@@bruceyyyyy Thanks. I wanted to know a few things about 3.6L/5EAT 4th gen outbacks and the awd system they used. I am looking to buy one. 1) Is the VTD (planetary) system any worse off-road? It appears to me to function more like old-school (Torsen) quattro, i.e. all 4 wheels want to go all the time, and like the VCD or traction control (whatever subaru calls the system that brakes spinning wheels) is slower to respond and less effective than with the MPT (multi-plate clutch) / CVT systems, allowing more power to be put down, and more wheel spin, and more fun, but less effectively transferring torque in off-camber situations. Is this the case? This is based on videos and observation from limited driving - I haven't owned one, so I don't have first hand experience. 2) Anything to be aware of for 4th gen 3.6 outback relability issues? I have heard the 3.6 has fewer issues than the 2.5, and for this gen head gasket thickness has been fixed, but engines tend to overheat due to cooling issue and so head gaskets still end up leaking, but due to bent rods, not faulty gaskets, which may result in part from CO entering coolant b/c of oil consumption, as these engines, I have heard, also start drinking oil. 3) in particular, how often should tranny fluid be changed? Suby recommends inspecting every 30K, i think, but doesn't say a change is required. I assume more frequent changes are better, some cars I have looked at show tranny flushes done at places other than subaru dealers in the history. Is the flush a bad idea, as opposed to the drain and fill? How about just letting the car run so the tranny pump moves the fluid, rather than using a pressurized device to move the fluid (a middle ground approach, I guess)? Does it matter if non-subaru brand (but otherwise compatible spec) fluid was used, like at a meineke or valvoline? 4) Can you reasonably swap a VTD system and geared auto tranny into a current (6th) gen outback? Will the x-modes be compatible? If so, I might consider buying a new gen and modding it in future.

Ps the reason I am looking at this gen is b/c I like the more analog feeling, 50/50ish to rear-bias AWD system, and I'm not a fan of CVT's ito of a fun or organic driving experience.

@@Abbbb225 1) I would say the VTD is better off road. It's more robust with less work on the system. My friends at Power of Your Brains tested and seemed to agree. 2) They'll burn oil at high mileage but all Subaru will. Headgaskets can creep up but usually not until it's 15+ years old. 3) If off roading I would change fluid every 25-50k minimum. 4) Never been done before. I'm working on a VTD swap for my TR690 because I've been really happy with it. 5) Dunno. I've driven a 5EAT XT (It's shown in a couple videos) and honestly if you want a drivers car it ain't it. The owner got rid of the car because it was so problematic.

@@bruceyyyyy Thanks Bruce (I assume that's your name). 1) So you don't notice less brake intervention to stop wheelspin with VTD? When you say more robust, you mean ito of longevity, or ito of putting power down (I.e .hill climbs)? 5) I was talking about the 4th gen outback (2010-2014) which only came, to my knowledge, with the 5EAT with the 3.6R engine. I drove it, and wouldn't call it a sports car, but liked the feel more than the next gen with the CVT's. Any thoughts on this setup?

Oml first reply!
