I'm going to remove my trans to repair a couple of leaks. I've never pulled a trans before and I'm wondering which of the transmission jacks shown below would be best suited to attaching to the 300E's transmission without damaging the pan or any linkage. They're both available at Harbor Freight right now on sale. The Scissors Jack is going for $49.99 (belt strap, no saddle tilt) and the floor jack adaptor is $52.99 (chain strap, saddle tilt 60 deg. forward, 10 deg. backward).

Are there any tricks or tips I should be aware of for this job?

Thanks for any advice.
