2 post lift points for 2002 eurovan

[hcr]

2002 Eurovan w/ 135k miles

We have tranny error codes for the torque converter lock up clutch and tranny fluid temp sensor, ugh!
A friend has offered the use of a 2 post lift to make changing the tranny fluid&filter easier (we have sloping driveway).

Where on chassis are correct lift points , drawing or images would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've never lifted an EV up with a two post, but I have done a number of Vanagons. The EV has a large sturdy bulkhead running perpendicular to the centerline just behind the front wheelwell. Do Not Lift from the pinchweld along the rocker panels. I seem to recall that the rear control arms have a sturdy bracket for the outer pivot which can be used to lift the van.

My apologies as I come here with no answers, just observations. Only a select few seem to know this info as most EV's suffer from gross abuse and damage of said lift points.

I've never tried to use a two post lift on any vehicle, but past reading tells me to use the points in the owners manual shown as lifting points and that most lifts are going to need some kind of extender to reach those.

Not very helpful, I know, mostly just trying to bump your post up to see if anyone has a complete answer.

Thanks all
Unfortunately a PO buggered up pinch weld on the driver side rear, front is not great either.
I think the propane tank may get in the way unless the lift has an articulating joint on the end.
I’m suddenly not optimistic, but will report what happens.

I’ll bring some 4x4’s in case

Update
We got van on lift using truck adapters as suggested - thanks!
Changed tranny fluid without issue, so now we'll see if that cured error codes and/or improved shifting, clunks as reverse engaged.
I'm on the hunt for a manual tranny as this will fail sooner vs latter.

Unrelated to topic (lift), but when we were warming transmission and running thru gears we saw engine as well as axels moving front/rear - normal?

Sure enough, exhaust manifold is ~ in contact with PS lines.
A new project- I read where driver side are a bear to access.
