Here is an quote from my Acura Service Manual:

If the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed, it should
be towed with the front wheels off the ground. If due to
damage, the vehicle must be towed with the front
wheels on the ground, do the following:
• Release the parking brake.
• Start the engine.
• Shift D4 to position, then N position.
• Turn off the engine.

That is essentially what I did... only the parking brake was never involved

It seems like I would be safe. Would you or anyone else agree? or do all car manuals say the same, but end up blowing up transmissions?
