I have done it several times with no problems, but have heard that its
possible to damage it. So do it at your own risk i suppose. I use a
full trailer now.

I thought the M-B COULD be towed without disconnecting the driveshaft.
Don't take my word for it though; I have never done it. Maybe someone on
the list has the straight info on this.

Subject: [MBZ] driveshaft removal for towing
Hello everyone!
A 1979 300CD may be following us home on Sunday. Due to lack of an
extra
driver and since it has a cracked-up windshield that may be unsafe,
we're
planning on using a tow dolly. Auto tranny cars can't be towed on their
rear wheels without serious tranny problems resulting, so I want to
disconnect the rear portion of the driveshaft at the differential. Do I
have to do anything more besides removing the flex disk bolts? How
easily
is this done? Do I have to do anything with the center support to make
things easier?
TIA!
Kevin, Benzless in Hillsboro Oregon
