Even at 90 pounds the tran is weigh over half my weight. 140 lbs drippy wet.
I can press well over that amount but the problem is that the maneuvering
needed and moving the weight with my base weight didn�t work.  I tried it
but every time I would get slightly to one side the transmission would roll
me.  Finally had to roll the tran jack under and then maneuver the tran onto
it.  Once I got the mount end fixed in place I got the big jack out of the
way.  I then lifted the engine end up and got my small jack under it to hold
in in position to attach the CV axels and then mount the engine.

I would have needed an extra 25 or 30 lbs to keep the tran from tipping me
right over every time.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
