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.

Thanks everyone. I'm hoping to pull just the tranny out and not the engine. It's a converted 6 and don't want to deal with oil lines, fuel lines, wiring, etc. if I don't have to. Not to mention balancing the extra weight on a jack. Plus, I think the ramps will get me high enough for the trans but not the engine.

Plus, I think the ramps will get me high enough for the trans but not the engine. I think you've got the right idea here. Removing the tranny alone is a simple task and should not be a problem. As long as you can get the height, ramps will be fine. I see no problem using quality jack stands with a locking pin either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) As others have said, you do not need to remove the cv's, simply unbolt at the tranny and tie them out of the way. Having the ability to spin the wheels helps with this so jack stands would be my preferred option. Use whatever you have available to support the engine, wood works best for me. Goodluck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |
