Trans Removal Question
Hey all,
I checked the sticky, but it doesn't say...
How high does the bottom of the car need to be in order to remove the trans? I currently have the bottom of my car 21" off the ground. Is that high enough?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

The best thing I have ever used for removing and installing the transmission on these cars if you don't have a lift is an ATV/Motorcycle Jack. I rest the trans in between the two rails and the wheels let you slide it back and forth with great ease. Plus it is low enough to slide out from under the car on jackstands.

You'll be fine using jackstands. You can get it high enough with them and have room to get a jack under the trans to lower it down. I think we had them on the second to last notch on the stands
