Message	Floor jack would be the best option unless you have a tranny jack. Lowering the tranny with another person on one side and you on the other should keep it stable enough to back the tranny out the back of the car. As far as lowering onto your chest...that would probably work if you can get the car high enough and keep the tranny from rolling to one side. Probably not the best way to go though.
