I just pulled my transmission due to fluid not being pumped. (different thread)
So, to avoid asking questions unrelated to that thread I started this one.
First, I haven't dropped a transmission since .. I'm guessing '85. And that was a dirt floor in an open garage on the farm. (i.e. you can dig deeper where needed)
Now, from a garage floor I was barely able to pull that thing out. because the torsion bar piece I left in. My biggest concern is HTH am I'm I going to raise that thing back up on the trans jack? Coming down is one thing.
I thought maybe slipping a ratchet somehow to get it high enough to raise it on the jack maybe?
Anyone have any tips on this? I won't be attempting this for a week I suppose but thought I might as well ask now because I know it will be a challenge.
