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.

I don't know that ramps would get you high enough. You need to remove the wheels to get the half shafts out, there might be a way to work around them.

You don't have to remove the wheels nor do you have to take the half shafts out. Simply disconnect the CVs on the transmission side and you can bungee them up or work them over the engine while you slide it out the back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
