    Default Does anybody here have a lift?

    I need to change my transmission out soon. I just ordered a new one. I need access to a lift. I will buy a trans jack.

    I will compensate with many cases of beer, money, etc in exchange for letting me and my dad use the lift for perhaps a day. I have all of my own tools and an air compressor.

    PM me if you'd be willing to help out. As it stands now, I cannot change the transmission and I don't want to pay to have a shop do it.

    where in Atlanta are you? I would say I know of a shop you could possibly use their lift, but you'd have to ask someone who is working on a sunday since none of the Techs are there.

    I do still need some help with this. I'll likely be changing it out next weekend. Possibly sunday, if my dad is feeling better. I have AAA platinum and a van for the trans.

    Well this trans. is very hard to get to some bolts and you need plenty of room.....could be done but easier with a lift.

    try dropping/swapping out an MR2 motor/trans from the bottom. I had my SH!t on SUV jack stands in the rear. Front bumper touching the ground, rear tires 3-4 ft off the ground
    drop and slide

    Anybody work at some place that would help me out? Anything? It doesn't really matter where, as long as it's within 30 miles of Stone Mountain.
