I have a 2006 G35x.This weekend it developed a cooling leak so I towed it home on a dolly. After towing it on the tow dolly it started to make a lot of noise from drive train. Before the towing it ran great with no noise. Anyone have ant ideas what could have gotten damaged.Thanks

You owners manual specifically tells you NOT to use two wheel tow dollies on a AWD.. (actually ANY AWD applies in this case)

It's likely your transfer case assembly is toast. Possibly the automatic trans.

Even RWD you don't let the rears roll.

Notice the caution on both images.

Why didn't you call AAA and request a flatbed tow truck?

My AAA membership gives me up to 200 miles of free towing and other benefits
