The problem is there's no ATF being pumped 'round the gearbox, and some components will be in motion. That's a BAD thing for an autobox.

My advice would be to never tow, or allow to be towed your auto. Sure, sometimes it may be a crutch of convenience, but it's not worth it.

Check the colour of ATF. It may be worth flushing it, then driving the car and seeing how the box performs. You may be lucky, there may be no discernable damage. But on the other hand...
