<DIV>Hopefully this will get to the TTA and SyTy lists,</DIV>

<DIV>For those who, like me, pretty much have to do all their car work
alone - on pulling and replacing the Transmission :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have tried to do it w a standard Trans jack. These jacks are too tall,
and U cannot get the trans/jack combo out from under OR, when reinstalling, back
under the car. Not such a big deal when pulling it out because U can just slide
it off the jack and drag it out on the floor. And I'm talking with the front
wheels at least a foot off the ground.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However when reinstalling, it is really hard to lift this 160-180 # monster
onto the jack while on your back under the car. I did it once and about killed
myself - never again. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So when I saw those real low motorcycle jacks, I thought I saw a
solution. I tried it and it works ! U need to get the front wheels ~ 10" off the
ground, but it will slide through the back of the front wheel well. However I
needed to make a sheet steel plate on top of the jack for the trans to rest on
because the platform arms on the jack were wider apart than the bottom of
the trans pan.</DIV>

<DIV>If anyone wants pics, I have 2 of them.</DIV>
