Default Lifting car... Umm yeah

First off I dont have access to the Cliffs of Insanity...

So I must come up with another option. I am trying to figure out how to lift my car up.. what would be a method that you would do? I am looking at hoisting it to be easy to flush the transmission and such..<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urhw_kPDkoo">Cliffs of Insanity</a></li></ul>

Default as long as your workspace is level. my garage floor slopes more than

I'd like so I have to lift the rear of the car higher to make it perfectly level....which is supposedly crucial when checking ATF level.

Default Gheeash! I wish something was broken.

(Wait! What am I sayin')

That said, or not said, someone should take Tozo up on this and launch a preemtive rebuild of their tranny. If you're far away, drive out before it breaks. What a concept!
