Hi All,

Does anyone know how high the car has to be jacked up to remove the transmission?

Thanks-

Almost a trick question, how high is often a matter of personal preference more than a requirement. I've seen it done with a car sitting on two 3 ton jack stands that have a max height of only about 18 inches. Basically, it comes down to how much room you need to get comfortable under there, and what kind of transmission jack you are using to hold the gear box. Personally, I'd like it up as high as possible, but again it comes down to what you have available to you and how you feel about being under there (some get claustrophobic with the car low to the ground, or are simply too tight a fit to work comfortably).
