I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I heard somewhere that coasting with the car off, or towing the car improperly can be damaging to the transmission and/or differential. It was something about how the gears are lubricated. If the bottom gears in the transmission aren't turning and the top ones are, the top gears aren't getting any lubricant. Anyways, don't quote me on that.
