How heavy transmission is?
 

Going to do clutch in 2wd Cherokee 94 (5sp I6)

Is transmission heavy for 2 average guys to pull out on hands?

Re: How heavy transmission is?
 

Depends on where you do it. On a lift or with a pit, it's not too
bad. Lying on your back with just a couple of jack stands to get it
up a little, it is a real bear. Suggestion: after you remove the
shift tower (which is about the first step) drop a strong rope or
chain sown through the hole and loop it under the transmission. Run a
board - 2x4 or larger - through the two windows and use a come-along
or pullies to take the weight off. You don't have to mess with the
transfer case since it is not 4WD so it might be doable but I would
still want the rope to act a a snubber so that it can't fall or slip
on you. First, that hurts and second, it will damage the transmission

Too specific, and expensive. Just drill a hole the floor jack
pedestal, and chain it.

Re: How heavy transmission is?
 

I have car lift.. Unfortunately, I don't have ceiling clearance to lift
Jeep all way up and use my tall transmission jack (I use it for sedans)

I was thinking about getting transmission jack attachement from HF (to
use on a floor jack) but I probably won't do this job again and didn't
want to throw $50 away.

I can lift car to about 4-5 feet from the ground....

Looks like tranny weight 90 pounds, so I thought 2 guys can easily take
it on hands.

Thanks for suggestions, I may use that trick with a rope. But after I
buy this simple supplies (rope, etc...) I will spend close to what I
spend for transm jack attachement :)

Well I recon (lift and all!). even at 4 feet you can sit and get'er out no
problem. You wont need the rope trick with 2 of you holding on.

Re: How heavy transmission is?
 

Ok. I got her out!!!

Actually, tall transmission jack was just enough to get tranny out when
lifted car all way up in 9ft tall garage

Got it out in 3 hours myself and had to make trip to Autozone to get
bearing removal tool.

Pilot bearing out.

I have 2 bearings with clutch tool. One just bearing, another pressed
into metal donut. I guess just "extra part"

Broke 1 welded bolt for transmission support. Will go without it, have
no idea how to put it back onto body..

That 4 ft or so will be fine (as long as your lift has mechanical
bracing/locks for partial extension). I was thinking about the case
where you lift it as high as you can with a floor jack and jack
stands. You know what I mean, about high enough to clear a decent
beer belly <g>. It's tough from that height, but if you can sit up
under there it should be no sweat.

Yeh, I had it up in the air with 2nd lift lock engaged.

This time I finally bought mechanics chair and my butt was on soft
surface <g>
