I had a mechanic say that he likes to jack 914's by the transmission, right under the differential. (On a 914/6). I have never jacked by this point and don't really like putting the strain on the engine mounts, gear box and motor.

What do you think?? OK to jack here or asking for problems???

Thanks.
