I used two car jacks with wheels under the front to roll the car. Then the towing truck raised the front wheels off the ground and and towed that way, rather than drag it onto the flatbed. Rebuilt the transmission for about $2500 (non-dealer). That was at 150,000n miles and been getting annual fluid changes every year. I drive 30,000 miles /year and at 225,000 it's running like a top. Side note: I use only synthetic motor oil and change oil and filter myself every 6 or 7,000 miles to keep engine sludge free.
