Overall Height of 6L80 Question

[SlowLS1]

I'm looking for the height of the 6L80. If it sits on the floor, what is the height to the top of the bell housing?

My Googlefu has failed me, I just can't find this info. I need to know because I have the car sitting 24" off the floor on QuickJacks, and I'm trying to determine how much "jack" I need to get it out from under the car "safely"



Thanks,
Brian

Thanks. I did run across those but never found the actual dimension I need.

The Yellow line on the picture attached is the dimension I am looking for. Last thing I want is to have this 250lb trans on the jack and not be able to get it out from under the car. I know it's gonna be close.

Cool. Yeah I didn't look through them all to see if what you needed was there, just posted the links. Good luck..

Hopefully someone has one sitting in their shop and can lay a tape measure on it for me.

I would think 24" should be enough rock it of the jack onto cardboard or plywood and push it tail first out the side of the car. You can lift the tail shaft as it comes out to lower the bellhousing. Pulling the converter befor you move it will reduce the weight.

For sure be doing this if it won't come out on the jack. Have to come out the front or back of the car, can't come out the sides with the Quickjacks.

Can you reach your arm up behind the firewall to where the bellhousing bolts up with a tape measure and measure down to where the bottom trans pan is in line with the with where your arm is?? I haven't been under my car in a while, so not sure if there is enough room to do that. Just a thought.

I agree with you on this
