The way I've done it many times in the past just involves using the original bumper jack. This involves using no chains, blocks of wood, etc. & creates NO possible damage to any other components. 1st. remove the e-brake cable from the bracket on the torque tube. With the bottom of the jack, with the "V" groove on the bottom of the jack up against the e-brake cable bracket against the torque tube & the "Hook" of the jack to the rear part of the "X" in the frame. Now click the lever for the "Up" position & use the jack handle/lug wrench & just jack it back. The last click will be the hardest, but will supply you with plenty of room to be able to remove the trans. I have done this SOOOO many times I can't count. Can even be used to remove ANY Buick manual trans. as it allows plenty of room to move the trans. out of the bellhousing.
Just my experiences.
