Gordon, that setup is a killer of young and old mens backs, it is out of balance and requires a real jack, the otc is over $1200 bucks that i use, i bought it as a repo for 1/2, donot trust the imatations, a hernia is about $25,000 plus if it happens to employee you could end yup in court. Rent the same jack the mack and oilfeid guys use to change out a trans on the side of a road loaded, buy a jack overbuilt as a powerwgon, rent for 50 a day or 100 a week, you can even rent the clutch assembly holder with it, you need the otc or atleast the one napa has, its a copy. Hope you get it changed safely. Lots of them get repoed by otc call a saleman, they have rebuild sometimes.
