I do not pretend to have any knowledge about Packard automatic transmissions, but I have done a lot of towing and we ALWAYS removed the drive shaft when pulling automatics. The concern was that they would not be properly lubricated as the pumps were from the drive end so having the back end turning from the rear wheels would cause bearing wear and overheating damage due to the lack of lubrication. I never towed one any other way to know if this was true or not, but it was a simple procedure to remove the drive shaft and be safe. Of course if you are using a Tip and Load type transport this is not necessary.
Cautiously yours,
