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.

Had to do my input shaft seal after only a short time after getting my conversion going,never took the half shafts out but just tied them out of the way.
In my case I never considered removing engine/trans together as it hard with a 911 motor so pulled the box of the motor....not difficult by any means. IMO you still need it high just so you can work under there so if your motor hasn't been out for a while its a an excellent time to do those other jobs as mentioned...there is always some thing to do. My locking axle stands go high but I use 6x2''wood blocks under them for more base support and more height and pick up on the trailing arms rather than the donuts which are only for a trolley jack. Good luck. |
