Id consider offering advice if you didn't type your whole speal in caps and centered. If you cant type on your computer, mabey you should leave the toyota for a profesional.

Yep, that's the problem.
Not removing the rear drive shaft has now purchased you a new transmission. It's in the owner's manual how to tow it with the rear tires on the ground.

Why can't the automatic be towed in neutral? What happens mechanically that causes damage?
Let me get this straight, to flat tow an automatic, you need to pull the DS? I'm assuming the 5spd is fine towed in neutral.

Because none of the moving parts in an automatic receive lubrication without the torque converter pumping the fluid through. Since you're in neutral, you're not spinning the torque converter.
