No, you cannot safely flat tow a 1998 S10 2WD automatic transmission. Flat towing requires the drive wheels to be free to rotate, and the transmission to be in neutral. While you *can* put the automatic transmission in neutral, doing so with the engine off can damage the transmission in a 1998 S10. These trucks often lack the necessary lubrication to the transmission components when towed in this manner, leading to internal damage.
To tow a 1998 S10 2WD automatic, you'll need to use a different method, such as:
* Dolly: This supports the rear wheels, allowing the front wheels to steer.
* Car carrier/trailer: This is the safest and most recommended method.
Always consult your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended towing procedures. Ignoring these recommendations can void warranties and lead to expensive repairs.
