When towing a 2 wheel drive car on the ground, the driveshaft should be disconnected so the transmission internal do not rotate. The differential is a closed lubrication system and will suffer no damage from being towed. BUT the rearend still has 160k miles. If the drive shaft was not removed, the pump in the transmission was not pumping fluid and severly shortened the lifespan. To make matters worse the section of the tranny that was spinning most likely burned the fluid that will now be recirculated to the untouched parts. The other member is correct too, all other parts have 160k too. Be carefull!!!
