    Werner -
    I successfully did this but will not do it again for the following reasons:

    1. There was no notch to lock the lift so I left it resting on the cables. I wasn't planning on spending any time under the car but it didn't turn out that way. (NOT SMART) Car was on jackstands too.

    2. Due to my hoist (picker) geometry and the fact that I was pulling the engine and the trans together, the added height of the lift made the hoist pull the engine towards the nose of the car too much. In other words, I ran out of free space between the hoist and the nose of the car as I began the lift.

    Next time I will pull it with the car on jackstands on solid ground and grab a neighbor to help me push the car (minus trans and engine) back up on the lift.
