So as the last parts and hardware are making their way in, I also want to make sure I have all the required tools.
Reading about transmission removal, it states that supporting the engine from underneath is needed.
In the 101 book, Whyne is using a jack stand to support the engine.
Since I'm going to use a scisor lift, the car is going to be at least 3-4 feet of the ground.
One option, is to use a 4X4 cut to size from the garage floor to the Engine boss.
Other option is to secure the engine from the top using this:
1000 Lb. Capacity Engine Support Bar
Has anyone used it on a boxster?
Based on the method I will use to secure the engine, I will need to select a transmission jack, so any opinion/suggestion will be appreciated.
