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>
