Thread: V8 Transmission Pipe Access

I need to get access to the top of the ZF auto transmission on my D1 V8 to undo and remove the transmission oil cooler return pipe. Access is tight. I don't want to have to drop the engine/tranny down if there's an easier way. Vehicles with suspension body lifts have no problem with this access. Am I able to somehow jack up the body only a couple of inches to increase clearance and improve access to this bolt? If so where would I position the jack?

Yeah its tight but not impossible, i did mine in the gutter in Morewell last week after the line came undone, just drop the exhaust and you can reach up behind it
