I've pulled my trans 4 times on jack stands. 2 of them with just a jack and 2 with a Harbor Freight low profile trans jack.I’m getting ready to do this as soon as I talk myself into pulling the tranny. On jackstands . Lying on my back….
Trust me spend the money on the trans jack, it's worth every penny. I cursed myself for not buying one sooner. It makes the job so much easier not having to balance the trans on a jack or shim it with wood blocks.
