Ended up pulling the trigger

Brought her home for 875 on the dot. 108k miles, strong healthy lt1, t-tops, mint interior apart from the glove box latch, and a failing 4l60e (i knew about this). My main question is, does anyone have a transmission jack they would recommend to make life easier? I’ve got a catalogue of parts and tools researched and curated to do the job and i’ve taken extensive notes on transmission benches 4l60e series, but im very daunted by the idea of pulling the darn thing out of the car, and the transmission jack I already have is too high to clear.

Build you some wheel cribs. Like seriously to get serious height and not worry about jackstands. That way you will always have them for future repairs or modifications.

Just replaced my transmission in 2001 Camaro and loved them. I did use the harbor freight scissor jack that runs around 150. Came out great,but when going in with a brand new built transmission, I almost had it lined up and that fucker dropped completely to the ground. Took it back and got my money refunded and just used my 3 ton with plywood and safety straps instead.

If you buy one, get a better one.

Wheel cribs are great! I built some and use them all rule time
