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.

IMHO I'd drop the engine and transaxle as a unit and then separate them. You can clean or powdercoat the engine sheet metal while the transaxle is getting "fixed." You can clean up the whole engine compartment etc because you'll have LOTS of room!
I'm doing exactly that right now with my '73. |
