As wildbri says, put the Hi/Lo leaver into the center position (Neutral), this will disconnect any drive from the wheels to the main autobox and just tow it.

The garage doing the fluid level check should know this

If its only 2 to 2 1/2 miles can you not drive it? I may be wrong but I thought the gearbox went tits up once warm after 20 or so ?

I know theyd want it cold but then they can have it over night to chill and no worries about towing

the gearbox seems to work when it wants , but it seems to work " better " when warm .

whilst i appeciate the groups concerns for retribution , may i ask that my wishes are observed ? ,as ive said , i have learnt a very expensive lesson , and thanks to the amazing generosity of this group i can see light at the end of the tunnel , i am not a vindictive person , if my decision means i lose the respect and friendship of this amazing group , then as much as that will be devastating , i have made my decision , however , i have no control of others activities , but please bear in mind that this " man " knows where i live , knows i have no chance in a confrontational situation , knows my phone number , also knows that our lass works near his house . if this also means i have to repay your amazing act of generosity , then i will , i hope you understand and respect this message .

kind regards and many sincere thanks
