Can someone share an experience of pulling a transmission off a 900 series car from underneath under "home garage" conditions? I measured 23" for the height of a AW30-40 transmission put on my transmission jack (which is 8" in height by itself). Seems a little tricky to raise my car by that much: my floor jack has 20" height fully extended, and the jack stands are only 17" at the highest position. Harbor Freight sells 6-ton stands which are 23 5/8" tall (about $180 for a set of 4...) This seems like the way to go (I could use wood to extend the reach of my jack by a bit I guess). Or perhaps I could get the tranny off the jack and onto a piece of plywood/cardboard and pull it out (that saves about 8" in height). The thing didn't seem that terribly heavy when I was handling it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
