Years ago i was fitting a capri gearbox on my back and the gearbox dropped and pinned my fingers between a support and edge of gearbox ...mucho swearing 
I was not happy at jacking the car up onto ramps as my jack was at full stretch with the elite and still not enough space to get the ramp under , pity the car cant be driven up the ramp but with being an auto i would never try it 

Always drive our cars up onto ramps (all autos except TR4A) - need to use short planks on bottom of ramp (~2" thick) to allow Omega front valance to clear ramp.  No issues with an autobox and ramps just take it steady and remember to use brakes to stop 

  

Think i would do a trial up a small ramp first or maybe measuring to put a chock under the back wheels so it dont over run the ramps 


Good job done steve , i put a smear of copper ease on my pins , only a small amount to stop corrosion
