I know this may be painfully obvious for some and some of you may just think close enough is good enough, but not everyone shares that sentiment, so be nice.
OK. So I'm about to change my AT fluid and the procedure is pretty specific about some details, i.e. exactly how much fluid to put in, how much to drain out, exactly what temperature the AT fluid is to be at, making sure the vehicle is
level.... and from what I understand, if it's not just right, it won't shift correctly and I only want to do this once!
Now since I have to do this using 2 different sets of jack stands and on a garage floor that is already NOT level (and most garages are not, mine was a full 2 inches lower where the rear tires sit as compared to the front tires), I got to thinking, where is the best spot to place my 2 foot level to make sure my car is indeed level, once I'm up in the air.
So I drove my rear wheels up onto 2 inches of wood then found a nice, easy spot to check, turns out, right on the door threshold is just about perfect.
As far as side to side, the intake manifold makes for a nice place to lay your level. (as you can see, mine is off just slightly right to left but my floor is off that same amount)
Floor left to right (for comparison sake)
