Ok so tommorrow morning I hope to put in my KB short shifter and bushings.

KB SS
KB front shifter bushing
KB Rear stay bushing
TiC Shift Link Bushings
TiC Rear Diff. Mount bushings

So ive been trying to map out the best order to do all this and looking at dozens of DIY posts and instructions.

The only thing that may be a problem is jack's and jack stands. I have ramps for the front, i can get the thing off the ground. But will I need to either jack stand the back off the ground, both back and front? Many DIY's call for jack under the tranny in addition or under the rear differential for the Diff mount bushings.

At this moment in time I don't have access to a floor jack or really any other kind of jack and I need to know if i will start this process and get roadblocked. I have the jack that's in my trunk and thats about it. Unless i go buy one, (which i may do)

Of the peices i have i figure:

KB SS
-Easy, can do from inside the car, will be fine with my tools.

TiC Shift Link Bushings
-Calls for a jack underneath the tranny for support... neccessary to allow me to unhook the shift linkage? or just precautionary...

KB front shifter bushing
KB Rear stay bushing
-appear to be able to do both of these without jacking and supporting the tranny but I want to make sure.

TiC Rear Diff. Mount bushings
- It only makes senses that somethings "Mount bushings" would require you to support it another way.... So i can only assuming a jack will be needed under the differential to take the weight off the mount and let me swap the bushings... Would my trunk jack work okay for this or will i need something else...



If anyone knowledgable in this area clarify me on which parts/installs need:
1) Jack stands front and back.... (as currently i have 0 stands and only 2 ramps for the front)
2) a jack of sorts to support something under the car OTHER than to get it off the ground (ie the differential or transmission)


I really appreciate any and all help, I don't want to get underway and be screwed because the tranny is gonna drop on my head

While i still would like to know, i figure its dumb not to have jack stands and a floor jack so barring autozone being closed i will have these available to me
