Message: [QUOTE="hwrdbd, post: 980966, member: 11049"] What you want to do is leave the tranny still bolted to the block for a minute, and lower it down a little ways. This will tip the front of the engine up. When I did it I used a couple small pieces of wood to slide between the crossmember and the oil pan. I put one under each side, close to the vertical edges of the pan since that's the strongest part. Then you jack the tranny back up a little, just to take the weight off the bellhousing bolts for removal. This prevents the engine from tipping forward after removal, and makes it easier to stab the tranny back in. You don't need a very thick piece of wood in there, just something slightly bigger than the gap that exists when everything is properly mounted. edit-as previously stated, don't leave tranny in super low gear. It will still work, but be much harder for you to turn. Think about how many rpm the engine has to turn for you to go 10 mph in L, a lot. While the output shaft isn't spinning that fast. You want to be able to grab the output shaft and easily spin the input shaft to assist you in lining up the splines during reinstallation. If you're in L, one output shaft turn might equal 5 input shaft revolutions. Choose a higher gear to make it a little easier on yourself. Keep in mind I made up that 1:5 ratio to prove my point and don't know the actual ratios in the zf6 lol [/QUOTE]
