Hi,
So here's my dilemma. I installed a new transmission in my '06 envoy. I fabricated an adapter plate for my floor jack for the trans. that actually worked better than I thought it would. I'm nearing the end of this debacle and I am not strong enough to lift the transfer case up while I am on my back under the car to install it.
So I made this ... "thing" out of wood that holds the TC in place and mated it to my DIY trans adapter. I still can't get the F'ing thing in because it needs to be turned about an inch counter clockwise. It is not clocked right and I cannot turn it while it is up to the rear of the transmission.
I was going to spring for one of those transmission jack adapters but they don't allow you to spin it they only appear to be able to tilt it front to back.
I don't have any friends. All of my family lives on the other side of the country and I can't muscle the thing up there myself. I have really tried but my twig like arms can't do it. I"m currently trying to find another way.
The other problem that I have is that I only have about 8" of space on both sides of the vehicle and about 18 " in front of it in my garage. So fabricating anything is tough with no room to work. I know it looks bleak but thought I'd at least throw this out to the guys who really know what they are doing to see if anyone has any ideas that I can try.
Thanks in Advance!
