Hey all,

Just bought a 1993 jeep wrangler to tow behind my Class C.
Need procedure to set up for towing.
Thanks
Looking for the owners manual - but no luck.

Thnaks in advance.

Manual: tranny in 5th, 4wd in neutral, key clicked to unlock steering.

Auto: a bit tricky, 4wd in neutral, tranny in neutral w/ motor running, turn off key to unlocked position, move tranny to Park.

It doesm't have to be in 5th, just in gear. I use 5th just in case the transfer case goes into gear, that way it's going down the road in 5th not some lower gear, less damage (?). The reason for being in gear may have to do with oil circulation.

I have a 93 yj with an auto trans, to tow it shut it off in park, then shift the transfer case into neutral. Thats what my book says to do, and thats what I'v been doing for for years with no problems

Owner's Manuals, I have heard, can be downloaded from the Jeep website. I have never tried it, don't know if it is true or not.
I have seen them on eBay, though, as well as Amazon.
Helm, Inc. has always been a great source for auto manuals.
