This time I just pulled the subframe out first, then, with the engine held fast by this item, dropped the transmission with a standard transmission jack. Doing it this way was about on par with a typical rear drive transmission swap I sold the scissor lift months ago because it didn't actually make the job much easier, and I'm glad now that I used a fraction of the money to get extra tall jack stands, a transmission jack attachment and this support bar to do the work instead. Things just seemed to fall into place, I didn't have any huge messes or broken parts, and the job was done in less time than the pros would bill it for. Worth every penny and then some.
As far as how I used it, I just used the all-thread hooks into the engine lift eyes directly. I did not use the cable, so I can't speak to its usefulness. On my application, the cowl comes out past the engine a little, even with all the plastics removed, so I did have to tweak the hook to get it engaged with the lift eye at the front of the engine and still clear that sheet metal (right or rear side of the transverse V6 in a Ford Flex), but it worked great once I got everything into place. Like I said above, once I torqued down the nut a little on each hook, the engine didn't move a bit the rest of the job. Worked flawlessly.
I was pleasantly surprised that mine was not red - but blue and yellow, like the Swedish flag.
Worked great. I was easily able to move my engine/trans up and down to get certain mounts out. I felt confident under the engine/trans on the ground.
There are bolt holes in my engine where you can insert some bolts and use the hooks from the engine hanger directly, so I didn't try using the cables.

There are three minor problems that I found.
1. Two of the holes in the middle support arm were not completely punched out. I can easily finish punching them out but it will mean he unpainted area will be prone to rust.
2. The supplied hardware doesn't match with the instructions. A nyloc nut is included but is not referenced. There are also more washers supplied than referenced. I'm sure I can figure out something.
3. Both of the supplied bolt lengths match the description in the past list but both are too short in my opinion. An extra 10mm on both would make it easier to assemble and be stronger. A trip to he hardware store should remedy this.
Note: I got a nice discount on this one since I was marked as an opened box with small cosmetic damage and missing packaging. What I got looked perfect with the exception of a slightly worn cardboard box.
