Each time I've "pulled the engine and trans, I've lowered the car as much as possible with the wheels removed and unbolted the mounts with so it all sits on a dolly. Then raise the car and slide the mass out.
Harbor Freight has a motorcycle lift on sale. Has anyone used one of these for this process? If it could be rigged, it seems it would take a lot of work out of the jacking, and allignment issues. B |

I use one of those to move my engine around on sometimes and to align the tranny with the engine when I'm putting them back together. I use a tranny jack to remove them from the car and to put them back in. The reason is the tranny jack has an adjustable table that you can tilt if your car isn't level. I drive the rear up on ramps so there is a serious angle. It's not an issue with a tranny jack. Also, that HF atv jack is kind of a POS. It's super heavy for it's size, It doesn't lift straight up. As you lift it, the table comes back towards you. You have to keep adjusting it's position on the floor constantly to keep the engine in line.
