I have a 1994 Chevy Camaro V6 3.4L Car. I will be checking the transmission mount on this vehicle and also taking out the drive shaft to check the u Joints. I found two sets of Jack stands but Im not sure which one Is the best one. The craftsman Jack stands will cost 85 bucks with shipping, which I cant really afford or want to spend and the torin ones will cost 50 bucks with free shipping. The craftsman one can lift 21 Inches and the torin ones can lift 16.5 Inches. I like the torin ones because the lift bar Is more flat to hold wider bars but the craftsman lift bar Is u shape. Would the 16.5 Inches be enough space to take out a drive shaft and possibly change a transmission mount on a 1994 Chevy Camaro V6 3.4L Car. I only want answers If ya think ya might know for sure because I dont want to buy the Jack stands to find out that they wont be high enough. Then.

when i did mine i just simply had the ones you roll up on haha but are you just doing the crank shaft or taking out the whole tranny?

 

I took my driveshaft out without lifting the car up at all lol.

 

Im not taking out a tranny I might replace the transmission mount, so I will check the mount and If I has to get replaced, I will replace It and I will take out a drive shaft to check u Joints.

 

My car sits to low to even get under and Its stock height but any Information on the Jack stands or If 16.5 Inches Is enough to check and possibly change a transmission mount.

 

just go get the ones you roll up on and you'll be fine....

 

16.5 " is enough for me lol but I'm a lanky dude. trans mount is like 5 bolts and the drive shaft is 4.

 

I was looking at car ramps at fleet farm and the guy said they wouldnt be high enough for taking out a drive shaft or changing a transmission mount and I guess I wouldnt mind having Jack stands Instead because the car will sit at the same height. But I wasnt sure If 16.5 Inches Is enough to change a transmission mount or If I would need more space.

 

All you need is enough space to slide yourself comfortably under the car, and you'll be able to remove the driveshaft. Also keep in mind where you're going to put the jack stands. Say your rear axle tube is 6" above the ground, and the stands are 16.5" tall. That means the car will be up 10.5" from where the tires sit on the ground now. You won't be lifting the car by the height of the stands.

 

im just going from experience :P
