QuickJack and dropping transmission
 
Is there enough room to drop the manual transmission out and down while using the quickJack? Just wondering if it gets up high enough.

Looks like it'll work.

more than enough room.



I just dropped the automatic, and it's bigger. Note that with the tip, the standard procedure calls for you to remove the exhaust and the rear bumper, once that's done there is a ton of room. Note that in the picture below, the QuickJack is only in the "halfway up" position...

I also used a low profile trans jack from Harbor Freight which helped to stabilize the trans while lowering and moving it at the same time.

Thanks for the info guys. QuickJack is/was having a sale, so decided to pick one up especially since I can use it with my other two cars. Was hoping it would be tall enough so I can change out the clutch and IMS in the next few months and it looks like it will work.
