Manual or auto? in reality it doesn't matter, put the box onto the jack and wiggle it about until it is balanced if putting it in, or put it under the middle of the box if you are taking it out.

it's Auto....appreciate your reply, however as I am on my own here something more precise would be helpfull,
realy do not want to guess this as once I pull the bell housing free it could be both painfull and a disaster, was hoping
someone,with experiance of its removal could tell me where they placed there jack,??

It doesn't really matter where you place the jack as long as it takes the weight, all you will have to do is balance it and not lift the whole weight yourself.
