Transmission Have an oil Pump?

[caesar101]

My first post, I would like to tow my ST 4 down and I don't know why you can't. So does the six speed transmission have an oil pump? The six speed in my BMW did and caused the towing issue. Ideas?

[MENTION=636]RAAMaudio[/MENTION] I believe you tow yours in some fashion. Mini axle trailer or...

No pump that I recall when apart installing the LSD but I was not looking for one, some transmissions and transaxles have mechanical pumps that are pretty simple and would not effect towing in any way I could imagine.

When I tow it is inside a trailer, not on the ground so no help here on this issue.

Wish I could say for sure.

This page of the manual says front two wheels need to come off the ground for towing. It does specify 1.6l Ecoboost.

This page says manual transmission cars can be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. Is this page for non-ST fiestas? The manual should be more specific...

Likely a generic page as the 1.6 ecoboost comes with an automatic in some vehicles.

Highly likely not a problem towing the ST with all four on the ground.
