trans and trans/case center of gravity
hey guys im just about to drop the trans and case to put in a new clutch and was wondering where the best spot to place the jack (on the tranny/case) to avoid tipping. This is my first time ever dropping a tranny and replacing a clutch. any advice is weclome. all i have left to do is unbolt the crossmember from the frame and the bellhousing from the block.
thanks

Unless you have a couple of strong friends, I recommend spending a few bucks and renting a transmission jack. Then the tip is leave the crossmember attached to the trans - makes it much more stable, and strap the whole thing to the jack.

i dont have a trans jack i have large 3 1/2 ton jack which i used to raise the truck some then i placed a couple of jack stands under it. Now that the truck is raised I can use the 3 1/2 ton jack as a tans jack.
