V6 automatic transmissions are HEAVY. I got it out with no problems just lowered it down, but lifting it up high enough for the jack or stands while laying on my back is turning into a mission for me. Time to hit the weight rooms.

If you have any suggestions I am open to all. It is up on ramps so it not very high maybe 2 feet give or take.

I miss my Ford Ranger, lifting with my hands and knees did the trick for the light truck but not for this dodge, this tranny is beast.

Too much for one person to accomplish, could use a little help.

Yup grab some friends. Buy them pizza and a 6 pack. The transmission jacks can be picked up at some auto parts stores if needed.
