Question Today Is Flex Plate Day, Input?

My jeep sits about 35 inches from ground to floorboard, whats the easiest way to get to the flex plate without dropping the transmission (no tranny jack)

Some of the replies i have read just state simply, "slide the tranny back"

But this doesnt really help, are there any tips and tricks? or am i on my own?

If it will slide back far enough, you should be OK. Keep the converter WITH the trans.

Remove the PITA E12 bolts at the top of the bell housing before any others.
