God that looks so much easier with a lift. Doing it with jack stands blows.
Do you realize Marc Haibeck doesn't have a lift in his shop? Course, he's so skinny he doesn't need jack stands either, for that matter!

Last time I spoke to Bill Beudreau (ZFdoc.com), he told me he does it on jack stands as well. (That was over 5 years ago, that is). He described how he uses a floor jack and hooks his ankle over the jack handle and prefers to balance the trans on the standard "cup" on the floor jack. Dang if he wasn't right! But! Gimme a lift every time, thank you!
