O.K. Guys, I have heard the bad news about jacking my car wrong. My front tranny seal went out and I am dumping fluid all over.
I have a friend that owns a transmission shop and gives me GREAT rates on repairs. Problem is he only has the type of lift that you drive
over and it lifts by the frame, not the tires. You know, the kind like at Les Schwab or other tire places. Is this O.K.?
I would hope so, or how else are you ever supposed to get it high in the air? Maybe only on lifts you drive on and it lifts all four wheels supported??? Please let me know if its o.k.

I use a frame lift all the time. It has four lift pads. What I ALWAYS do is open the front doors (unlatch) so that the stress isn't concentrated on the door hinges and latches. This is especially important with a convertible. Don't open the doors just unlatch them and let them rest in the door well.

Unless your frame is really weak and rusty, you should be able to jack it up or put it on a frame lift with no concern whatsoever. The ladder frame is very strong by design and should have no problem with it. Make sure the car is balanced front/rear on the lift and that none of the "pucks" on the lift are resting against the transmission crossmember or anywhere that they may slip off.
