I don't suppose you could elaborate a bit as to where you supported the transmission. It is very tight back there and putting a tranny jack (or some other type of support for the tranny) on the plastic transmission sump does not seem right....

I may be thinking about this too hard, but this is something I don't want to mess up with the car up on a lift.

Edit: So I was over thinking this a bit... I used a tranny jack with some wood to help protect the plastic transmission pan. While I doubt there was any damage done to the plastic tranny pan while supporting the weight of the transmission during the transfer box fluid change, I still decided to do the transmission fluid change AFTER the transfer box - just in case.
