My box has done 300k now. So I'm keeping my eye out on another. I'm definitely getting a transmission jack for next time!
I hate asking for help but just couldn't do it myself.
I had a normal jack- but it's balance point is along an angled side. It needs turning and lifting which is where the extra hunan helped!
