Transmission Removal, Best way to support the rear Options

[sharper]

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 are great as are the pin type jack stands.

You can drop the engine/transmission as one unit onto a floor jack and just roll everything out the back.

If you don't have jackstands or ramps that give you enough height to get everything out the back, use whatever you have to drop the engine/trans down on the floorjack and *then* use less safe methods to get the rear up in the air enough to pull everything out.
That way you won't be under the car while it is less safe.

If you still have a rear valance, take that off too to get a few more inches of clearance.
