Honda dealers claim that the car is towable in confidence.
The reason they say that it isn't is because of the exact explaination you put forth in telling how you drive for 8 hours , put it in D for 1 minute and then R for one minute and then to neutral.. Reread your post. If you are really doing it the way you explained, you are playing russian Roulette with the transmission. Too many people are running it through the gears and coming from Reverse to neutral at the end and THAT IS WRONG. You have to come out of drive prior to ending up in neutral. There is some sort of gear or lever that screws up the tranny if you come out of reverse last.
This is very important and that is the exact reason Honda says it's not four down towable because the customers are not impressed with the exact directions.
I said that a diplomatic as I could, but I wanted to put it in CAPITAL LETTERS so everyone saw it.
