Lifting 75lbs isn't the problem. It slipping out of my greasy hands and falling on my face is.

^^^^ You probably ain't that pretty anyways man....lol j/k

I could man handle the T-5, but the TKO500....its pretty tough. Coming up with a contraption like that aint a bad idea.

One thing I forgot to tell you. You need some SUV size jackstands to do the job using the transmission jack. It takes a minimum of 24" of clearance to get the transmission out from under the car while it is on the transmission jack. I usually end up doing the jacking in stages. The last stage is with a 4x4 on the jack pad to get it up the needed height.
