Message	Transjack better. 30-36" reach 1/2" drive extension for bell housing bolts. If you take your time, and do it in sequence, it is a good to learn about the Z. We cannot caution you enough about safety on raising the car. You will be pushing and pulling the car with great force when pulling the trans. It will rock the car if it is not secure and on jackstands. If you have ANY fears about lifting the car, take some time and construct a set of wooden blocks. Jack the car up in sequences and rest the wheels on these platforms. Do NOT use cement blocks under ANY circumstance. _________________________________________________
