Tom, you did the right thing leaving the engine running w/ the automatic. That is what saved the transmission. You didn't mention that earlier though, and it�s not very practical for a long trip. It's better to just remove the driveshaft, and it only takes a couple of minutes (literally).

 

BTW, I have had very bad luck w/ U-Haul trailers. That's a story for another day though. I find the Ryder trailers to be better, although Ryder not let you pull their trailer with your vehicle (you have to also rent a Ryder truck). U-Haul will let you tow their trailers w/ your own vehicle, regardless of how unsafe it may be.

first car i towed was my 70, had a 4 speed, the other was my Olds when I first got it, I let the engine run on the trip home (28 miles).  but yes trailer is the best way, you can rent them from pretty much any Uhaul place
