HI I'm ryno and new to this site, I am mechanicaly minded but wanted to know how easy it would be to remove or even just lower the Automatic transmission box of a 1993 Nissan patrol with one trolley jack on my own driveway to replace the main transmission seal? any help would be appreciated thank you

I have done a manual transmission on my own you have to jack the car up so that their is about 2 foot of clearance between the sill and the ground.
I have modified my jack though i made up a large flat plate and welded a piece in the center that sits in the top oft the jack instead of the usual small round bit.
Then i use ratchet straps and strap the gearbox to it.

x2, check out my gearbox rebuild thread for the plate we made up for my auto gearbox : http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?5942-RE4R03A-Gearbox-Rebuild&highlight=gearbox+rebuild

Lot easier if you can get a mate 2 give you a hand, still not the easiest of jobs 2 do by yourself.
