    its easier to do filter with the trans bolted to the engine in the car......FWIW.

    Good luck.

    Or at least on a hoist/trans fixture. I usually do them after the trans is back in the car.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Does your new tranny know about the old one? Be sure to unfriend he/she on FB! Nothing worse than the ex coming back to haunt you

    And yes, as Bill said I would do the filter/fluid once the trans. is back in.

    If i have the trans out, it gets mounted to my bench or stand. Id rather stand or sit on my stool than lay under the car being dripped on.

    Most people don't have a stand to do that with. Unless of course you've figured out a way to mount it to an engine stand. If that's the case, how bout sharing that info.

    bill has posted pics of his trans stand adapter for a engine stand in the past, looks easy to build if you have some scrap stock and a welder.

    maybe he'll see this and post one up. i think he did a write up on it, not sure tho.

    I'll add them where I can to the current one I have in place, if you'd like.

    Jason..when ya coming? I'll get one made asap. One additional thing that was added to mine was a notch where the balancing poing is if you lift it with a hoist.

    All I did was look at the GM version that costs big $$ anywhere and think...hmmm I can weld two pieces of metal together. Whenever you see a bed frame on the side of the road..grab it.
