I'm having transmission issues and need to remove it to see about fixing it. Just wanted to get some opinions on the best way to support the rear of my 914 once its jacked up since ya'll got me scared reading the posts about jack stands. I do have ramps I could put under the wheels but just wonder if that would limit my mobility while under there; especially when it comes time to drop the tranny.

Ramps shouldn't limit your mobility much in removing the transaxle...with the exception of getting to the CV bolts. Being able to rotate the wheel so the bolt is in a better position for the ratchet is helpful. Jack stands are totally fine, provided you use the safe ones (with pins) and they're properly placed. Just don't get under the car when it's only supported by a jack.
You'll also need to have some support for the back of the engine once you remove the transmission, otherwise it'll lean backwards and break your mounts. That support could be something simple like wood. |
