Why you gotta be such a spoil sport? Lol!

The automatic ZX2 should not be flat towed, per Ford Manufacturing Company.

However...

I am yet to see any damage or funkiness from the transmission with the EOC that I have done. I know that does not mean there is not any. In fact, the ATX will probably splatter this week for me typing this

The sooner it goes, the sooner I can swap in a manual transmission I can get a ZX2 with a blown motor and good tranny for around $500, give or take. Then swap the auto into the other car, sell it and come out cheap
