Towing a Jimny by another vehicle
- In any case, Jimny's rear wheels must not have contact with the ground while Jimny is being towed (the vehicle must not roll on the rear wheels)!
- Otherwise, the transmission will suffer severe damage!
- There are special dollies which are designed to be placed under the wheels, so the rear axle then travels on a pair of dollies.
- This keeps the rear wheels stationery.
- Jimny can be towed from the rear, with the rear wheels on a pair of dollies, and with front wheels having direct contact with the ground.
- However, this can be done only when the gear box is in neutral and only after making certain that the Jimny is truly in 2WD(-H) transmission mode (both front wheel hub heads really unlocked).
- Note: The front propeller shaft does not have to be disengaged from the 4WD mechanisms in the transfer box in this situation.
- However, this can be done only when the gear box is in neutral and only after making certain that the Jimny is truly in 2WD(-H) transmission mode (both front wheel hub heads really unlocked).
- If the above conditions are met, just don't forget to keep the ignition key in the ignition lock in the "ACC" position during towing (to prevent the steering wheel from becoming locked during towing).
- All in all, the safest way to tow a damaged Jimny is to load it completely onto a towing truck and transport it like a dead brick.

A razão do problema:
- The problem with all manual gear boxes in Jimnys is that the gear box oil circulation is driven exclusively by the rotating motion of the input shaft.
- So, if the engine is turned off and the vehicle is moving, the input shaft in the gear box will stand still and the output shaft (and some other bits and pieces) in the gear box will turn.
- However, the gear box oil will not circulate and those turning bits in the gearbox will soon be starved of lubrication.
- This will cause rapid premature wear of those bits in the gear box.
- However, the gear box oil will not circulate and those turning bits in the gearbox will soon be starved of lubrication.
- This is why it is important to prevent the output shaft in the gearbox from turning while a Jimny is being towed.
E atenção que isto foi escrito para o Jimny anterior mas como não existem grandes diferenças para o último modelo isto leva-me a crer que isto também se aplica.
