@JFP Now I am more scared and confused. So if I push the car off the ramps there wll be no problem of the tranny rotating as long as the car is sitting flat? While only the ramps there is this risk of the tranny rotating and moving the car forward?

@Dharn55 I have read a lot about lowering the engine but I need one more clarification. I "drove up" the car on rubber ramps and gained 8"-10" of clearance so that I can work underneath the car. Do I still need to support the vehicle with jack stands? Or I can lower the engine (unscrew mount nuts) while the car rests on its tires. That's my confusing point right now. Any info will be appreciated.

OK thanks for the info. Well, I managed to get the old coolant tank out by removing the fuel filter and a couple of fuel lines (along with the air pump). I wigggled it for about half an hour! I did not lower the engine. The new coolant tank seems to be very slightly different but at first try it won't go in. I may have to lower the engine after all. Well more work tomorrow.

I am in the middle of changing out my coolant tank in my 996 2000 C4 Cab. Iyt seems that I have a choice of removing a couple of fuel lines or lower the engine 2"-3". Which is easier? Do I need to lower the tranny too?I just don't understand how I can lower the engine but the tranny stays in place. I just want to avoid spilled gasoline. Any info will be appreciated.
