I'm ready to lower the engine/tranny from my 914. I've decided NOT to do the Pelican method. On my Type 3 I've lowered the engine as well as the engine and tranny using a small floor jack -- it was quite the balancing act but I've done it multiple times. I now have a standard sized floor jack (bigger saddle that is removeable) and will be using that for the drop.
The Question: Where should I place the saddle for lowering the engine with the transaxle? My guess would be between the engine/tranny mating and the "taco plate" (is that the right term?). I have bits of wood and scrap metal so I could either weld a custom saddle for this drop or just use some plywood between the saddle and engine/tranny. Recommendations and experiences? TIA!

LOL! Always wondered what the hell it was... obvious now..
Good idea on the A-frame, Joeman. The only times I helped with yanking the motors, we used 2 foot lengths of 2x6 on a floor jack, one guy balance, one guy drive. M |
