Sometimes you have to use small blocks of wood to get enough height for the jack to jack up at the tail of the transmission. You only want to jack up to get enough room for clearance. Do it slow and a little at a time. If have to, especially since you can drain the pan, you can unbolt and drop pan and reach in and pull the filter down and then remove pan and filter as one unit. If you have to remove that way, then reinstall is tricky tricky to try and keep sealing surfaces dry and clean. I was in the shops close to 45 years. Only done a couple of these.</blockquote>
