Re: Any recommendations for a transmission jack and process?

An assistant would help if you can find one. It also helps to drain all the fluid and wrap a cloth on the back end to keep residual fluid from dripping.
Done it this way so many times, I can get a transmission out of one of these trucks or a GM A-body in about a half hour by myself.
