Hi c and z,

Seems the trans is locked when you could not move it.

Possiblilties are

1. Seized CV joints, (either outer or inner joints, works when cold but seizes when driven).
2. Trans assy. (Internal fault)

The trans could have been damaged by the towing if the trans driveshafts were not disabled.
