Best way to remove 4 speed trans

[Griff]

So to summarize so far: I took off fan and fan clutch, removed my exhaust and starter (since bell housing g will be coming off.). I used a friends Harbor Freight scissors jack with a board on top. Ratchet strapped trans to jack, and the took out cross member and trans to bell housing bolts I the. Let motor sag slowly as I lowered trans jack very slowly. I also had a floor jack with wood blocks just above rear of drag link, as I lowered trans jack. I stopped as oil pan touched drag link and was resting on floor jack with wood blocks.
Trans cane right out as I rolled abd slowly lowered trans jack towards rear of car.
Thanks to everyone who comment and gave great advice!
Cheers guys!

Nope, it says my amazing pics file is too big, lol. Maybe someone can help with that so I can add in the future. Computer’s dead, so going forward everything on this site will be on I phone 14 here

Your probably in HEIC mode on your phone. I convert to Jpeg on the computer. If you go into the picture settings on your phone, you can select Jpeg instead of HEIC and it should work.

I had one of those scissor jacks by Transdapt. I lent it to my brother, and never got it back. Although I do have a ‘69 F440 HP on his engine stand. Been there since I can’t remember

I’ve had. 2 of those jacks. Buddy and I wore the first one out. Those a833 trannies are heavy. They are a big help if your rotator cuff isn’t what it once was
