Unfortunately an AWD automatic vehicle can never be towed with any of the wheels on the ground. and an AWD manual transmission car can only be towed with the transmission in neutral AND all 4 wheels on the ground. In your case, I suspect some major damage was done if you went 80 Km. The only way to know is to have a qualified mechanic check the tranny for how much damage was done. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
