Towing or Clutch Repair

[Delicious Clint]

Well, we did make it across the country but our second foray locally was a bit less successful....while running down for a camping weekend, the clutch started to soften up. I wasn't at the helm for this expedition and my more-knowledgeable mechanic buddy had to hop a flight to a previous commitment after calling me to tell me that he'd gotten the truck to a safe house (for the moment, until the neighbors complain) and that the clutch was dead.

I got down there yesterday and was able to move in reverse fairly well but there was no engagement to go forward. I've got a mechanic a couple miles distant ready to take it in but thought that driving a Deuce in reverse through a busy urban area might not be the brightest thing ever attempted (although it might make a better story?).

The search here has convinced me that a location repair is NOT in the cards -- what is the proper way to tow a Deuce to avoid damage? I'm planning to call a professional but would appreciate any advice here so that I'm armed with some knowledge.

Thanks!

Transfer in netural and tow truck.

If the truck moves ok in reverse, but not forward, doesn't that sound like an adjustment issue?

Mine did the same thing, Try putting it into low range and in first
