Tie down points for trailering?

POS VETT

Look for oblong slots about 2-2.5" in length in the undercarriage. These can be used with T-hook straps (insert the T and twist 90 degrees). These slots are used by an array of vehicle manufacturers including GM and BMW during transport. Straps need to be very tight, any slack will create an impact loading which will bust the strap. With a manual transmission, leave the shifter in neutral and engage parking brake.

Did you just get this trailer? What kind of trailer?

Noob question, but why would you leave it in neutral instead of a gear?

That's how you ruin the tranny and engine if it falls off. Same reason why our cars should be towed on a flat bed instead of the other types of tow trucks.

It is believed that there is a tiny movement (even with very tight straps and parking brake engaged) which translates to a minute back and forth movement of the pistons eventually creating a groove on the cylinder walls.
