A Little Help, Please?

i have a '71 Bus sitting in my garage. it has no engine, right now the
rear end is up on jack stands at the jack points and a third jack stand
is supporting the transaxle. i guess for reasons i don't know, VW
decided that the transaxle needs the engine in with its crossmember
support for the transaxle to be secure (this started with the '71, i
think)

so...i need to move the vehicle, tow it to another location. putting in
an engine, which i don't have, in order to secure the transaxle and
move it is not an option.

any ideas??

Jim

You could take the tranny out !

You could 'tie' the tranny up.

You could make a support bar that runs from side to side and under the
tranny.

oh yeah - it was 68 with the 1st bays they did this.
