You might be able to handle it yourself...if not 2 people can. My guess is about 65 pounds

 

thanks for takin your time to reply.

 

i can pick it up by myself but i am '6-7'' ? yah it is around 60 pounds

 

I can load a c4 transmission easily

 

cool now that i got the idea of what i need to do how do i delete this forum posting so i dont take up to much space on the website?

OR
do i leave it up so others can search this posting title and use the info?

 

When you pick it up watch for the fluids coming out all over you!!


You should just leave it.

 

you can only lift it after you accidentally kick it with sandals on then spin around, slip on the atf you dumped on the floor, fall on it, bruise your side, and rip the heck out of your pants! then you can lift it up easy!

 

The C4 weighs close to 75lbs - add to that the converter.
Use a jack to install it but you can load / unload by hand - unless your doctor tells you not to lift more than ten pounds or you will blow out the disks in your back that are already bulging and causing the pain that makes you feel 20 years older.

 

I remember the first time i lifted a c4 i thought i was superman. Lol later i found out it was aluminum i was around 14 years old i think.

 

I prefer to use the 2 man method,,,and then I just tell them where to put it.

Seriously, have a friend help. It'll save getting grease and dirt all over yourself or tranny fluids.
