Quick jack and tranny swap
For anyone out there with a quickjack that may have done a tranny swap does it raise the car high enough to be able to pull the automatic tranny out? Thanks in advance!!

Seems to me a th400 is about 17-1/2" pan to peak so comfortably you need 18-20 under the frame or you could tip the tail up (lower the bellhousing peak) and maybe get away with 16ish
Not sure what the quick jacks height is

Hi k,
There are some photos in this thread that show the amount of under car clearance possible.

Not directly related to your question but as someone on the fence about buying a quickjack 5000, the vendor just published a new video showing it handling over twice the rated weight. Impressive. They are also working on another video to show how it holds up to lateral movement while the car is lifted (my larger concern)
