shit aint that heavy. use a normal jack and your hands, and your feet to pump it

sweet... i'll have to look into that.

we've always just rolled em under the car on a regular jack and had someone he-man it in

harbor freight has a decent one thats less than $50

most trannies weigh less than 100 lbs

5/19/2006 12:14:25 PM

yeah you really don't need one...i'm a skinny fuck and have done several and have never used a transmission jack

5/19/2006 12:25:22 PM

that all changes if its a 4x4, you can't do a toyota r150 w/ tcase attached I promise. Or moreso a th350 w/ np205 (iron case)

5/19/2006 1:00:35 PM

yea my tranny/tcase combo is a bit heavy, and that shit fell off of the shoulder high tranny jack when my jeep was on the lift in auto tech. what a bitch to put back on the jack

go buy one from northern....use it all you want, then return

we would return a used roll of welding wire

5/19/2006 1:10:10 PM

^lol... not a bad idea

it'd be difficult to he-man this one in.. it's well over 100# and fwd.. so it needs to be manuvered around the front subframe, lifted into place, and slid onto the side of the engine...

[Edited on May 19, 2006 at 2:03 PM. Reason : a quick search says that it weights ~130#]

Is that the dsg?

5/19/2006 2:47:31 PM

im serious about northern....i dont know which ones we have in stock right now

but if you just need it for the one use, just do what everyone else does and buy/return

5/19/2006 3:54:50 PM

not the dsg... they started that in the mk5.. this is a 2003...

5/19/2006 4:28:41 PM

bitches try a nv4500 with a 231 behind it in an apt. complex parking lot with two tow straps and an advance auto socket set.

i got a harbor freight one you're welcome to borrow, pm me.
