Didn't mean to burst Jeroen's bubble, but for those near a Kragen this ATV lift is a cheap alternative. I've used it to install my six and my 901 box - they fit OK. I used a piece of MDF on the jack under the gearbox and cinched everything down with a ratcheting nylon strap to be safe. It worked just fine. But my disclaimer is that I installled the engine separately first, blocked the flywheel end with bottle jack and wood and then used the ATV jack to slide the tranny in place. Haven't tried removing or installing the engine/trans as a unit. The ATV jack is rated high enough to handle the weight but the size might be an issue. Steve |
