This took me and my friend 2 days to do this. Recommend you read the manual carefully if you are following along with it. If not, have someone who has done it before around.

There are some sketchy things you have to do with the subframe to get at the top transmission bolts. If you are only paying $400 for someone to do it, I would let them as that sounds like a hell of a deal.

Then again, now that I have done it once, I would imagine I could do it again within 6-8 hours.

There are two jackstands on the front frame rails.
Safety first

 

I see them now, looks like the have a grey base so they blend into the shadow.

 

That being said, it's good you pointed that out. Working under a car is a serious safety risk, so I hope everyone in our community uses proper protocol and ONLY works under a car that is not only on jackstands, but also has a second line of defense (IE: wheels on their sides under the frame rails) should the car fall off the stands.

 

I have taken out an S2K tranny 6 times...i would hate to have to do it on the floor

 

Put in some Raxles axles.

 

I cleaned her up for a fancy date with the lady!

 

Just impulse bought an AEM EMS last night...

Never used a lift for any kind of auto work.... Ever.
