low budget bracket racing blues

Some of the old TF trans awile back had a rear pump.
Meaning that it was driven off the trans output shaft, so any time the drivline was turning the trans had pump pressure and lubed everything while being towed.
They were the only automatics as far as I know that could be push started.
Push the car, build pump pressure, in drive it would turn the engine over.

Weird now day's.

In the old Motors manuals, they had a list of the maximum distance cars could be flat towed with the driveshaft in. The Torqueflites had far and away the longest, I believe 100 miles. I car dollied my Barracuda to the track 4 or 5 times last year, a good 50 miles each way. Trans fluid looks new, still shifts hard.
