[QUOTE="carlthess40, post: 1037730, member: 74264"] Pull the drive shaft. If it’s turning without the engine running , the transmission will lock up as it does not have a pump running from the rear of the transmission When the drive shaft is spinning. It’s turning parts inside the transmission. And without fluids flowing around inside the transmission It will heat up and lock up Without question. PULL the rear drive shaft Don’t risk it I’m a retired master tech and have a class A DL and was a tow truck operator for 12 years and a tech for 38 years My first time towing a semi truck, we thought we would be ok not pulling the shafts as we would only be pulling it a 1/2 mile. Well within a few hundred yards the trans locked up Same thing will happen to your sport trac Pull the drive shaft Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
